 +//Constraints// at the //Fraction Group// level are applied to the total dose resulting from only those beams in the current //Fraction Group//. //Constraints// at the //Target / Beam Set// level are equally split among the Beam Sets within the Target and are applied to the total dose resulting from the beams in each of the Beam Sets. The following steps are a brief walkthrough for creating a max constraint of 79.2 Gy(RBE) to the PTV for the whole Fraction Group, and then creating two SFO beams that each provide a minimum dose of 39.6 Gy(RBE). Note that this configuration with the max constraint at the Fraction Group Level is different than if we had put both the min and max at the Target / Beam Set level. In the case shown, it is only the total dose from the two beams that is constrained to be below 73 Gy(RBE). Had both constraints been placed at the Target Level, then each beam would instead be constrained to a max of 36.5 Gy(RBE).

-  - Choose the phase and number of fractions to be treated with this Fraction Group 
-  - Under //Group Constraints// one can add any desired structures to which the Fraction Group level constraints will be applied 
-    - Select the PTV from the drop down of structures 
-    - Define what constraint(s) should be applied to each structure by choosing the constraint and entering the dose 
-      - In the field beside Max, enter the value 73  {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:fx_group_constraints.png?300 |}} 
-  - Once the constraints are set in the //Fraction Group// the user will add //Targets// to the //Target List// and assign additional //Constraints// at that level if desired 
-    - The assigned constraint doses at this level will be divided evenly among the //Beam Sets// in the //Target//, which allows for quick creation of SFUD treatments 
-  - Add a new Target, then create two Beam Sets, each with a single beam 
-    - Under //Constraints// select the PTV from the drop down of structures 
-      - Now set the Min field to 70 (this 70 Gy(RBE) dose will be split 35 per beam set, creating the desired two SFUD beams {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:fx_group_target_list.png?300 |}}
