- 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.

Data Collection and Validation
49
To assign a release date and time to a variable, double-click or press ENTER
in the corresponding Date/Time cell and either type in the value or press
[CTRL-;] (semicolon) to enter the system date and time, or press F4 to
display a calendar. Press the OK button to save the assignments.
All VRT codes must have a release date and time defined before a tag
session is considered valid. All release times must be in Pacific Standard
Time.
For more information about VRT Export and Import functions, see Importing
and Exporting VRT Tables.
Note
This command has a dual purpose: if the Tag Session header page is
displayed, then this command will allow the user to create a header note
; if
the tag detail page is displayed, then this command will allow the user to
create a detail note - an ad-hoc annotation to record additional information
about the current detail record.
Time

This command stores the system date and time with the current detail
record.
