- 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.

Incomplete Tag Sessions
P3 allows users to save tag sessions that are incomplete or invalid. Incomplete tag
sessions can not be exported

and the session contents have been validated. P3 uses the following icons to identify
tag sessions:

Use the validate
command to identify which data fields (if any) in a tag session are
not valid.

session from a header template
, click on the arrow to the right of the New Tag
Session command and select a template from the drop down list as shown below.
