Before any timing exceptions are created, it is helpful to go back to report_clock_networks to identify which primary clocks exist in the design. If all primary clocks are asynchronous to each other, you can use a single constraint to decouple the primary clocks from each other and to decouple their generated clocks from each other. Using the primary clocks in report_clock_networks as a guide, you can decouple each clock group and associated clocks as shown in the following figure.
