Constraint schema
Used to set targets for continuous rest within specific periods.

Unique identifier for the constraint.
Labels for the constraint. Labels can be used to group constraints together. For example, if multiple constraints are related to the same shift type, they can all be labeled with the same label.
The importance of the constraint. The higher the importance, the more the solver will take the constraint into account. Under strict importance, the constraint may never be violated.
Filters to determine the scope of the constraint. Used to indicate what the constraint should be applied to (which employees, which shifts, etc). Leaving this empty means that the constraint always applies.
Show filters – properties

Used to filter which employees the constraint should be applied to. If not specified, the constraint applies to all employees.

List of employee ids that the constraint should be applied to.

Show matchTypes – properties

Used to indicate how to apply the id filters. For example, if set to NONE, entities with the specified ids will be excluded. Default: “ANY”.
Used to indicate how to apply the label filters. For example, if set to ANY, entities that have any of the specified labels will be included. Default: “ANY”.
Used to filter which shifts the constraint should be applied to. If not specified, the constraint applies to all shifts.

List of periods in the schedule. Periods can either be defined explicitly using custom definitions, or through a recurrent definition. A recurrent definition can be used to easily generate a list of similar periods (such as weeks, months, etc.).
