- 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.

Note: Changing the active profile while a Tag Session is open will cause peripheral
devices to be disconnected and reconnected to the application; it may also reset the
default repeating comments.
Tip: Clicking on the Active Profile label on the toolbar will automatically open the
active profile for editing.
Profile Settings
Profile settings control how a tag session
will collect and display data. Only after
pressing the OK or Apply buttons on the dialog box will changes to the profile
settings be saved. If changes are made to the active profile and a tag session is
currently open, the new settings will take effect immediately. However, take care in
doing this; as with changing the active profile, this too will cause devices to
disconnect and reconnect to the application and it's possible to miss a scanned tag
code during this very short period of time.
