In this paper, we proposed a method to analyze workflows’ constraints whose templates are defined in a declarative language called DECLARE. Checking such constraints is important but known to be intractable in general. Our results show three things. First, utilizing a tree representation of workflow process called {\it process tree}, we provided necessary and sufficient conditions on the constraints. Second, those conditions enable us to not only check a given constraint in polynomial time but also find a clue for improving the net if it violates the constraint. Third, we revealed the relationship among the constraint templates.
