Site category configurations are based on site properties. Site Administration provides default site properties for all sites. Additional site properties are added when you install other applications or modules. For example, if you have Commerce installed, additional properties are installed for Commerce when running CIM. Refer to your ATG application documentation for detailed information on the site properties installed and used by your applications.
Site Property Categories
Site properties are grouped into logical categories on the Site Definition screen. The following site properties are relevant only if the property is included in the site category:
Required - A property value must be present, for example, the value cannot be null
Automatic - Property value must be present, but the value is automatically populated by the system
Site Administration provides three default categories: Basic, Site Life Cycle, and History.
