- 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.

with a strike-through font and this field will be hidden in any associated tag sessions.
Any default values associated with a hidden field will be ignored.
Note: A tag session will always display a header field if it has data, regardless of any
template setting.
Tag Detail
This section of a tag session
provides data entry for a tag detail record. A detail
record is comprised of data fields containing information about a specific fish marked
with a PIT tag. Only one detail record is displayed at a time. The user can scroll
between detail records and make modifications to existing data. Scrolling past the
last record provides data entry for a new detail record. A tag session is limited to
9,999 detail records.
Field Navigation and Data Entry
TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys will move the cursor forward and reverse between fields.
Fields that are not drop-down lists can be edited by typing directly into the field. If
the Tag Code field already contains valid data, it is locked and cannot be modified
except for the dot-out
command. Fields that are drop-down lists can be edited by
selecting with a mouse or typing characters to match a particular value, with the
exception of the conditional comment field: it allows codes to be directly typed in or
selected from a list. See the field definitions
for more information about data entry.
Use the Starting Detail Field
profile setting to determine which field will initially
receive focus.
