- 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.

Customizing Field Labels
To customize a field label, select a field label, located under the Field column, by
double-clicking or pressing ENTER, and type over the default field label. The field
must contain at least one character and can contain a maximum of fifty characters.
The new field label will be displayed in any tag sessions that are associated with this
template. This allows the user to add more meaningful labels in the context of their
tagging project.
Entering Default Data
Any values entered into the data fields will become default values in any new tag
session created from this template. Template fields have the same formatting as
header fields
and must follow the same constraints. The only field that provides an
exception to this is the Tag File field. The user can specify a default file extension by
typing directly into this field and it will be automatically appended to the system
generated tag file name when a new tag session is created. All other default values
are WYSIWYG.
Hiding Optional Header Fields
Optional header fields are any fields not displayed in bold font. If a field's check box
is cleared under the Show column, the corresponding field label will be displayed
