  Note
  Although existing functionality remains and is denoted as “Custom”, unused criteria for selected Sample Type are disabled out to lessen confusion. E.g. Custom: Basic – Percent of Case-Number Applications to Pick and Maximum of Case-Number Applications to Pick are not applicable and are therefore, disabled.
