The following legends appear consistently in the Report Power tool:

Constraint
Displays when the nets are defined as clock with timer constraints. The defined frequency of a clock determines the switching activity.
Stimulation
Displays when the nets with switching activities are derived from simulation’s .saif file.
User Defined
Displays when the nets with user set switching activities are derived from set_switching_activity power Tcl command.
Estimated
Displays when the nets with switching activities are generated by report_power vectorless propagation engine.
Default
Displays when the nets include default switching activities. If you use set_switching_activity on input port nets or on internal nets before running report_power (vectorless propagation), the report tool displays the default.
