- 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.

Navigating and Changing General Profile Settings
P3 uses a standard tabular data entry mechanism. The ARROW keys move between
fields and the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys move forward and backwards between
controls such as the data entry grid and command buttons. To edit a profile setting,
do the following:
1. Double-click or press ENTER in the Value field you want to edit. The cell will
display a cursor; this state is referred to as Edit Mode.
2. Make any changes to the field contents or select a value from a drop-down
list. Some fields display a cell-button
that will display an additional data
entry window.
3. To complete your changes, press ENTER.
4. To cancel your changes, press ESC.
5. Use the DOWN-ARROW to move to the next field.
General profile settings have two columns; the first describes the setting and the
second supplies a value.

characters.

automatically load and become the active profile

application starts.
Tag File
Prefix
Tag file names must begin with a valid two- or three-character
Coordinator ID
code. This Tag File Prefix is used to automatically
generate that default Tag File value in each Tag Session Header.
The Tag File Prefix field must contain a code selected from the
drop-down list before the Profile can be saved. The only way to
change the Coordinator ID value in the Tag File field is to change
