- 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.

Validation Codes
This tool manages all of the runtime Validation codes maintained and generated by
PTAGIS. Validation codes populate the drop-down lists in many of the session header
and tag detail
fields. The "official" validation codes often change and must be
periodically updated in the application from the PTAGIS system.
Note: P3 allows the creation of user-defined validation codes. However, tag sessions
containing user-defined validation codes will not be accepted by PTAGIS until those
values have been defined and incorporated into the PTAGIS database. Therefore, the
creation of custom validation codes is discouraged.
The various code lists can be accessed by selecting the Validation Codes command
located under the Tools menu. The example below shows the list of validation codes
of type 'Tagging Method' with a custom validation code called 'Test'. There are
several different types of validation codes; each type can be accessed by selecting a
value from the Type of Code drop-down list.
Updating Validation Codes
There are two methods for updating validation codes from PTAGIS. The first method
is to manually import the files into the application. There are two files that PTAGIS
