Assign a Constraint to a Task on the Hand-offs Page

Assign constraints to a task to indicate the items that need to be addressed before work on the task can begin. Constraint details include the status of the constraint, the date it is needed by, who is responsible for addressing it, and the type of constraint. Icons next to the Date Needed field indicate if the constraint is overdue or needed within the next 7 days.

Use the Constraints tab in the Task Details dialog box to monitor the current status of all constraints assigned to a task. To only view tasks on the page that have at least one constraint, select Tasks With Constraints from the Constraints quick filter.

To learn more about task constraints, see Understanding Tasks App Concepts.
