From an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to MODAF, point to System, and then click Resource Constraint.
From a Capability Configuration, Energy, Entity Item, Exchange Element, Function, Geo Political Extent Type, Materiel, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Domain, Service Access and Software: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Resource Constraint.
After creating a Resource Constraint, use the Full Text property to specify the text of that Resource Constraint.
Applying to elements
When you create a Resource Constraint it is applied to the owning element, unless the owning element is an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description. You can apply a Resource Constraint to many elements.
To apply a Resource Constraint to an element:
From an appropriate diagram: click the Note Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.

Right-click the element, point to Links, point to Applied, and then click Resource Constraint. From the Links Editor, select the Resource Constraint elements that apply to the element.
