Problem:
How to create a custom archive for taxonomy terms?
Solution:
There is no such archive in WordPress. Taxonomy archives are archives of *posts* with matching taxonomy terms (set by the URL).
You can use Views to create a list of taxonomy terms that you insert on some page.

Hi there
The WordPress concept of "taxonomy archives" can cause some confusion, because they do not display taxonomy terms, rather, they display posts which match the term specified in the URL.
e.g. site.com/priority/critical/ will display posts with the term 'critical' of the 'priority' taxonomy.
If that is what you mean by taxonomy archive, great, then you simply need to go to Toolset > WordPress Archives and you will see the archives you can customise—as shown in the screenshot—which includes taxonomy archives in the right column.
If you are using Layouts, you would instead create a new Layout and assign that template to the archive in question, as shown in the second screenshot.
If by taxonomy archive you mean something else, namely, showing the list of terms that belong to a taxonomy, then there is no such thing in WordPress. You can, however, create a taxonomy View to display such terms, and then you would insert that View onto a static page.
