To add an EXISTING multisite sample site to your plan:
Click 'SELECT' on the top right-hand corner of the map.
Click on the existing multisite - this will automatically populate the multisite name and details. Make any changes, if necessary, and then click save.

Or for more information click on the 'i' icon.
To assign your sampling job:
