- 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.

generates for updating validation codes: rkmcodes.txt and validtbl.txt. Both of these
files are available for download from the Download page on P3 Home Page
. Pressing
the Import File command will prompt the user to select one or both of these files;
by default the prompt looks for these files in the ../P3/Config directory. Once the
files are selected they are then imported into the P3 internal database, updating and
replacing similarly-named codes.
The second method for updating validation codes automatically downloads the
validation files from the PTAGIS web site and imports them into the P3 internal
database. This method requires an internet connection and the ability for the client
PC to establish an FTP connection with the PTAGIS server. This method of updating is
initiated by simply pressing the Web Update command button.
Note: Custom codes will be overwritten by "official" codes with the same code name.
Custom Validation Codes
Press the Add command button to enter a custom validation code. If the type of
validation code is a Tag Site
or a Release Site, then the custom code data entry will
look like this:
All other validation codes use this dialog for data entry:
Once a custom code has been entered, the code will be displayed with a 'Yes' under
the User Defined column. Use the Edit command button to modify a custom
validation code and the Delete command to remove the custom code.
