Menu Plan Constraints: Get Alerts, Highlights, and Real-Time Blocking

Learn how to enforce and highlight Menu Plan constraints, get alerts when they're violated, and quickly find non-compliant items before approving events.

⚠️ Highlight Menu Plan Constraints

By now, you probably already know you can set constraints on your Menu Plan — right?

For example:

  • Want to ensure everything in the plan is gluten-free? Add a Dietary Flag constraint.

  • Need to guarantee that all items (or a specific item group) include a specific tag? Use a Category constraint.

Well, we just made working with constraints a whole lot better!


🚦 Smarter Constraint Enforcement

Now, constraints are enforced in real time and during approval:

  • When adding a new Event Item, Galley will prevent you from adding anything that violates a constraint

  • ⚠️ When trying to approve an Event, the system will check all constraints and let you know if anything’s off

  • 👀 You’ll also see an attention icon in the sidebar if any violations exist


👀 See What’s Off — And Fix It Fast

Want to check what’s going on?

  1. Click the notification
    or
    Open the sidebar

  2. You’ll see a list of which constraints are being violated

  3. Click “Highlight items” to:

    • Instantly see which items are causing the issue

    • Navigate to them for quick review or edits




This helps you enforce compliance, maintain dietary or category requirements, and keep your plans clean — all before anything hits approval.
