Restrictions are criteria that files must meet to be included in filter results, advanced find results, and reports. You can combine multiple restrictions to perform more complex searches. For example, you can create a restriction to find files checked in to a specific repository in the past week by a specific user.
Surround SCM includes the following restriction types.
| Restriction type | Limits results to files with: | More information |
