- 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.

Repeating
Comments
Repeating comments supply default values for new detail records. This
command displays a window to define those default values.
If enabled, any value entered into a field will be the default value for each
new record.
Set
Repeating
as Current
This command will display the repeating comments dialog window (shown in
the previous command) with the comments from the current detail record as
default values. This is a quick and easy way to change repeating comments
on the fly.
Enable
Repeating
Comments
This command enables or disables the repeating comments for subsequent
new detail records. If repeating comments are enabled, this command will
display a small check mark and 'RC' will appear in the third status bar panel.
Reset
Comments
Use this command to populate the current detail record with the current
repeating comments values.
Dot/Dash
All
This command will dot-out the existing Tag Code
field and dash-out the
Length
and Weight fields of the current detail record. Use this command to
quickly reject the current detail record when mandatory length
and weight
profile settings are enabled.
Pressing the arrow to the right of the command displays a list of four
additional subcommands:
Dot-Out
This command only dots-out the tag code field.
Dash
Length
Dashes length field only.
Dash
Weight
Dashes weight field only.
