A constraint specifies a condition that a client computer must meet in order for a job to run on the computer. Each constraint compares the value of a dimension on the client computer with a value that you specify. For example, if you create a job to run a multi-processor test, you could add a constraint to the job that specifies that the job can only execute on client computers whose WTT\ProcCount dimension has a value greater than one.
For more information about constraints and additional ways to restrict the client computers that a job can execute on, see Specifying Which Computers a Job Can Run On.
To add constraints to a job

Create or edit a job.
On the Constraints tab in the bottom pane of the New Job window, move the cursor to the Dimension cell in the first empty row, and then select the dimension that you want to compare from the drop-down list.
In the Operator column, select the operator that you want to use to compare the dimension to its value. The list of operators might vary depending on the dimension that you selected:
Equals: The value of the dimension is equal to the value that you specify in the constraint.
Not Equals: The value of the dimension is not equal to the value that you specify in the constraint.
Less Than: The value of the dimension is less than the value that you specify in the constraint.
Greater Than: The value of the dimension is greater than the value that you specify in the constraint.
Less Than or Equal To: The value of the dimension is less than or equal to the value that you specify in the constraint.
Greater Than or Equal To: The value of the dimension is greater than or equal to the value that you specify in the constraint.
Contains: The value of the dimension contains the string that you specify in the constraint.
Not Contains: The value of the dimension does not contain the string that you specify in the constraint.
Within: The value of the dimension is one of the values that you specify in the constraint.
Not Within: The value of the dimension is not one of the values that you specify in the constraint.
Exists: The dimension is defined on the client computer.
Not Exists: The dimension is not defined on the client computer.
In the Value column, enter the value to compare the dimension to.
Note If the operator is Within or Not Within, you must select the value from a list. If the operator is Exists or Not Exists, do not enter a value.
