- 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.

A tag file header template allows the user to customize header field
labels, define
default values, and/or hide selected fields. Templates are typically used to populate a
header with specific field values and/or to prevent erroneous or extraneous data
entry.
When a tag session is created with a header template, it will apply any customization
and default values defined in that template. Any customization changes made to a
template may effect any tag sessions that are associated with that template;
modifications to default values will not effect existing tag sessions.
The Templates command is located under the File menu. This command will open
the Template Manager, from which users can create new templates - or they can
open, rename, copy or delete existing templates. In addition, templates can be
exported
and imported into other P3 installations.
Creating a Header Template
The template window below was designed to look very similar to the session header.
Navigation, data entry and field formatting are the same as for a Tag File Header.
