- Data Completeness -- Allows segments to be returned and ordered by the completeness of data.
- Potential Sample Table -- Contains the TOPS sections within the specified Volume Group, Functional System, and Urban Code selected.
- Sample Table -- Displays the number of required samples, existing samples, needed samples, selected samples, and total samples.
- Button Controls -- Contains four controls.
