−	An ingredient must be included in a formula (checked) if it is to be considered for the solution, whether or not it has a constraint (a minimum or maximum). If an ingredient is not checked, the only other way it can be considered in the solution is to add it to a ratio. As with nutrients, if you specify a minimum or maximum for an ingredient, the ingredient is automatically checked. If you uncheck an ingredient that has a constraint, the constraint will be greyed out and the ingredient will not be considered in solving the formula (unless it also appears in a ratio). Checking an ingredient that has no constraint adds it to the '''Short List''' of the formula, even if it not in the '''Short List '''of the species. If you use an ingredient '''Short List '''and you choose the ‘Short List’ when looking at ingredients in a formula, you can easily see which ingredients on your formula '''Short List''' end up in the solution and which do not. Remember that, unlike a nutrient, an ingredient must be included in a formula before the Solve Formula process will consider it.	+	An ingredient must be included in a formula (checked) if it is to be considered for the solution, whether or not it has a constraint (a minimum or maximum).
