What is described on this page about Object Constraints can be also be applied on Bone Constraints.

Menu

Add Constraint (with Targets)

Reference

Mode:Object Mode and Pose Mode Menu:Object ‣ Constraint ‣ Add constraint (with Targets) Hotkey:Shift-Ctrl-C

Adds a constraint to the active object. The type of constraint must be chosen from a pop-up menu, though it can be changed later from the Add Constraint (with Targets) Operator panel. If there is an other object selected besides the active one, that object will be the constraint target (if the chosen constraint accepts targets).

When using a bone from another armature as the target for a constraint, the tool will look inside the non-active armature and use its active bone, provided that armature is in Pose Mode.

Copy Constraints to Selected

Reference

Mode:Object Mode and Pose Mode Menu:Object ‣ Constraint ‣ Copy Constraints to Selected Objects

Copies the active object Constraints to the rest of the selected objects.

Clear Constraints

Reference

Mode:Object Mode and Pose Mode Panel:Object ‣ Constraint ‣ Clear Object Constraints Hotkey:Ctrl-Alt-C

Removes all Constraints of the selected object(s).

Track

Reference

Mode:Object Mode Panel:Object ‣ Track Hotkey:Ctrl-T

These tools add a tracking constraint Ctrl-T to the selected objects; the target object of the constraint will be the active object, which won’t have a constraint added.

• Damped Track Constraint
• Track To Constraint
• Lock Track Constraint

Clear Track Alt-T

Removes all Damped Track, Track To and Lock Track Constraints from the selected objects.

Clear and Keep Transformation (Clear Track) Alt-T

Removes all Track Constraint from the selected objects, while keeping the final transform caused by them.
