What is the best way to allow one input or the other?

I'm looking to combine two Apps on the Server into one.  A choice needs to be made up front by the user.  Do they want to enter an Account Number or do they want to enter a Tracking Number.  Right now these are two different workflows that give the same results.  I'm imagining it's a radio button or check box or something similar.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

@Brad1

 

When building apps like this, I prefer to use Radio buttons to control Tool Containers with different input configurations. Radio Buttons rather than check boxes because I only want one options to be selectable at a time. Tool containers are also useful because a slightly different set of tools will likely be necessary to build the same input for the rest of your workflow based on the two different input options.

 

I have attached an example of this.

Thanks!  That is exactly what I needed to see!
