Defining Constraint Sets

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Scheduling.

Constraint sets provide the basic definition of a predefined set of constraints that a service region uses for running the Optimizer. A constraint set is associated with a constraint set in the Administration - Scheduling > Service Region List view. See Creating Service Regions for more information.

To define constraint sets

1. Navigate to the Administration - Scheduling screen > Constraint Sets view.
2. Create a new record and complete the field as appropriate.
3. Scroll down to the Constraints list.
4. Create a new record, selecting a predefined constraint from the Add Constraint dialog box that appears.
5. Enter a start and end date for the constraint if applicable.

To view the service regions associated with a constraint set

1. Navigate to the Administration - Scheduling screen > Constraints Sets view.
2. Select a record in the Constraint Sets list.
3. Click the Service Regions view tab.

   The Service Regions view contains read-only records listing the service regions that use a constraint set.
