Each constraint has a unique number associated with it.

  • The number generated is unique within the implementation guide that the template/profile is associated with.
  • The same number can be used on two different constraints, as long as the constraints are in templates associated with different implementation guides.

Trifolia allows you to edit the constraint number, as long as the number follows the criteria specified above.

In addition to the unique constraint number, Trifolia allows constraints to have a Display Number which does not have to be unique. The Display Number can be contain letters, in addition to numbers (ex: "CAT1-2523").

Note: When creating a new constraint in the template/profile editor, the number will be displayed as AUTO until the template/profile is saved. Once the template/profile is saved, the database generates a unique number for the constraint. When the template/profile is refreshed after saving, the number generated will be shown in the constraint.

Edit a Constraint Number

  1. Open the Template Editor for the desired template
  2. Go to the Constraints tab
  3. Select a constraint
  4. In the Edit Constraint pop-up window, select the pencil/edit icon next to the number of the constraint in the heading of the pop-up window.
  5. Modify the Unique Number or Display Number fields
  6. Select OK
  7. Save the template
