- 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.

The detail viewer has these features:
• Sort any column in ascending order by clicking on the column
header; click again to sort in descending order.
• Resize columns by positioning the mouse at the edge of the column
header and dragging.
• Lock columns and/or rows from scrolling by dragging the lock icon
that's displayed when the mouse is at the edge of the row or column
headers.
• Search for a record by typing into a cell; the viewer will automatically
scroll to the first record matching the pattern.
• Retrieve a tag detail record by double-clicking on the record link.
• The right-click pop-up menu does the following tasks:
• Merge columns with similar data into one, contiguous cell for
enhanced readability.
• Show/Hide specific columns.
• Refresh the contents of the viewer.
• Copy selected cells to the window's clipboard
• Print either the Tag Session Header
or the contents of the
viewer (Tag Detail).
• Save the contents of the viewer to a comma-separated file.
Note: the detail viewer will automatically stay in-sync with changes and
scrolling of tag detail records, however, this synchronization may impact
system performance during data collection.
Customizing the Tag Session Tool Bar
All of the tool bars displayed in the P3 application can be customized by right-clicking
on the tool bar and selecting the Properties command from the menu. Functions
can be appended by dragging them onto the toolbar. Existing toolbar functions can
be removed by highlighting them and pressing the DELETE key.
Note: P3 provides an additional tool bar which is a larger version of the Session tool
bar. To access this tool bar, right-click anywhere on the menu or tool bar of the main
application and enable the LargeSession toolbar.
