Creating Groups of Related Configuration Constraints

Related constraints have the same basic construction but differ only in content. For example, you need to create a dozen exclude constraints of the form Product A excludes Product B. For each constraint the products will be different, but the basic construction is the same.

There are several processes you can use to create groups of related constraints. For example, you create twelve exclude constraints in the following ways:

• Create each constraint using the Exclude template in the "Pick a Constraint" tab of the Constraints view.
• Create the first constraint and save it. Then edit the constraint so that it becomes the second constraint and save the constraint. In the Save Rule form, click "Save changes as new Rule." This creates the second of the twelve constraints. Repeat these steps to create the remaining constraints.
• Create the first constraint and save it. Then copy the constraint 11 times. Edit each of the copies. In the Save Constraint form, click Save to overwrite the copy with the changes.
• Create a constraint and save it as a template. Then select this template to create the remaining constraints.
