The Assignment Editor is a spreadsheet in Quartus® Prime/Quartus® II development software that allows users to set specific settings and constraints on pins and entities of circuits they have designed within a project. Various settings, such as options for enabling device-specific functions, pin assignments (*1), and I/O standard specifications, can be made on a single spreadsheet, enabling efficient and speedy operation. This document introduces the basic operations (*2).

(*1)
While pin assignments and I/O specification settings can be performed using the Assignment Editor, it is recommended to use the Pin Planner. For more information about the Pin Planner, please refer to "Quartus® Prime Pin Assignment".

(*2)
For users who want to learn about commonly used options in Altera® FPGAs, please refer to "How to Configure Commonly Used Pin Options in Quartus® Prime".
