Constraint Table Property/Script
If you add constraints in one profiler and want to make them accessible by other profilers, use the Save
Linear Constraints command, accessible through the platform pop-up menu. For example, if you created
constraints in the Prediction Profiler, choose Save Linear Constraints under the Prediction Profiler
pop-up menu. The Save Linear Constraints command creates or alters a Table Script called Constraint.
An example of the Table Property is shown in Figure 24.24.

The Constraint Table Property is a list of the constraints, and is editable. It is accessible to other profilers,
and negates the need to enter the constraints in other profilers. To view or edit Constraint, right click on
the pop-up menu and select Edit. The contents of the constraint from Figure 24.23 is shown below in
Figure 24.25.
Figure 24.25 Example Constraint
The Constraint Table Script can be created manually by choosing New Script from the pop-up menu
beside a table name.
Note: When creating the Constraint Table Script manually, the spelling must be exactly “Constraint”.
Also, the constraint variables are case sensitive and must match the column name. For example, in
Figure 24.25, the constraint variables are p1 and p2, not P1 and P2.
The Constraint Table Script is also created when specifying linear constraints when designing an
experiment.
The Alter Linear Constraints and Save Linear Constraints commands are not available in the Mixture
Profiler. To incorporate linear constraints into the operations of the Mixture Profiler, the Constraint Table
Script must be created by one of the methods discussed in this section.
