- 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.

Device Action
A device action is triggered when a tag code is received from a reader device. This is
useful for identifying a tag code scanned from a particular device (e.g. scanning for
recaptured fish). The user may want to be notified of such an event and an optional
comment can be placed on the current detail record. Additionally, an optional sound
event can be configured for this action in the profile's audible alert
profile settings.
The device Action tab becomes available when the user selects a reader device in the
Device Type setting
.
Note: Device actions are not allowed for tag readers connected to a Baytech
Multiport Controller.
