Notes:

• If the imported table was mapped with the Row letters for Rows in the Data Import app, the Row letters toggle will be “on” by default; otherwise, the toggle will be “off” by default.
• For the number of wells, the maximum number of rows or columns supported when using a custom layout is 5,000.
• The user can cancel the plate design creation by selecting the  [Cancel] button from the Grid Plate Editor – Design section.
• It is possible to use and create multiple designs, so when using multiple designs, the plate match column dropdown will be available to match the plate type for a multiplate design.
