- 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
53
Once data has been collected and validated, the next step is to upload the data to
PTAGIS. In previous versions, this was accomplished by exporting
the tag sessions
into tag files
and submitting them to PTAGIS via email. This manual process still
works; however, P3 has a new feature that automates this task and keeps track of
which tag sessions have been uploaded.
To access the automated upload feature, select the Upload command located under
the File menu. The Upload Manager window will be displayed, as shown below.
Upload Configuration Settings
Before the automated upload feature can be used, it must first be configured. Press
the Configure button located at the top of the Upload Manager window. The
Upload Settings window will display the following configuration settings:
Property Effect
Registered
Email
Address
This field contains an email address registered with PTAGIS.
Any tag session submitted without a registered address will
be rejected by PTAGIS.
Sender's
Name
This field identifies a particular user and is useful for
situations where multiple P3 installations submit data and
share the same registered email account.
Transfer
data in
'Passive
Mode'
Use this feature if the upload process cannot establish a
connection to the PTAGIS server due to firewall issues. This
setting will direct the server into a passive mode, where only
the client can initiate FTP connections.
