- 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.

Record-Level Validation
Mandatory
Fields
To complete a detail record, the Tag Code and Species,
Run and Rearing-Type fields are mandatory and must
have a valid value entered.
Note: The active profile provides settings to optionally make
the Length and Weight fields mandatory also.
Constraint
Validation
When the user presses the Accept
button to save a complete
detail record, the data entered is validated against any
activated constraints
. If the data does not comply within the
constraints, the user is warned and given a choice to either
fix the record or continue processing.
Maximum
Detail
Records
A tag session can contain a maximum of 9,999 detail
records. The user is warned when the last detail record is
entered and prevented from entering any additional records.
Session-Level Validation
Duplicate
Tag Codes
When a new tag code is entered, the value is compared
against all other tag codes within the current tag session,
and if one or more tag codes are duplicated, the user is
prompted to take one of four possible actions (unless a
default duplicate action
has been configured in the active
profile).
Reject Clears the contents of the current Tag
