- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

If this setting is checked, any detail
records in the Secondary Tag Session
that have a Dot-Out
for a tag code will
not be appended to the Primary Tag
Session.
Merge Duplicate
Records Only
If this setting is checked, then only detail
records from the Secondary Tag
Sessions that have matching tag codes
in the Primary Tag Session will be
merged.
Note: If data records are merged from multiple secondary sources, the last source
accessed provides the final value.
Note: When combining Additional Positional Comment fields, blank columns in
the Primary Sessions are overwritten by the Secondary Source(s), and blank
columns in the Secondary Source(s) are ignored.
Dot-Out Wizard
The Dot-Out wizard takes a list of tag codes from a selected tag session and dots-out
every occurrence of those tags in a selected group of other tag sessions. This is
useful for updating tag sessions with mortality information. The Dot-Out wizard will
guide you through this process.
Using the Dot-Out Wizard
1. Select the Dot-Out Wizard command located under the Edit menu.
2. Select a tag session from the wizard containing the tag codes you want to
dot-out. Go to the next page.
3. Enter any conditional or textual comments that will be inserted into the detail
records that are dotted-out. You can also choose to append the original tag
code to the text comment field.
