The Vivado IDE provides a Timing Constraints wizard to walk you through the process of creating and validating timing constraints for the design. The wizard identifies clocks and logic constructs in the design and provides an interface to enter and validate the timing constraints in the design. It is only available in synthesized and implemented designs, because the in-memory design must be clock aware post-synthesis. For more information, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using Constraints (UG903).

Tip: The Vivado Design Suite only supports Synopsys design constraints (SDC) and Xilinx design constraints (XDC). It does not support Xilinx user constraints files (UCF) used with the ISE Design Suite nor does it directly support Synplicity design constraints. For information on migrating from UCF format to XDC format, see this link in the ISE to ISE to Vivado Design Suite Migration Guide (UG911).
