- 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.

Importing and Exporting
Exporting Data
P3 can export tag sessions
as well as configuration information such as profiles,
header templates
, tag actions, and digitizer maps. This is useful for transferring
information between multiple installations of the application.
Only valid tag sessions can be exported. Tag sessions will be exported to individual
text files using the Tag File
header field as a name.
Exporting configuration information is a little different than exporting tag sessions.
Multiple configuration items will be exported and combined into one file. Only objects
of the same Export Type (profiles, actions etc.) can be exported to the same file. The
type of file created from the export process is XML and should not be modified. When
the file is imported, P3 will automatically detect the Export Type from the file.
Exported profiles will also include any activated Actions or associated digitizer maps.
Steps for Exporting
1. Select the Export command located under the File menu.
2. Select an Export Type from the drop down: 'Valid Tag Session',
'Profiles','Templates', 'Actions', or 'Digitizer Maps'.
3. A list of available items will be displayed. Select which items will be exported.
To select multiple items, use the mouse while pressing the CTRL key.
Note: When selecting multiple Tag Sessions for exporting, two or more items
cannot contain the same File Name.
4. Press the OK button.
5. A prompt will display asking where to export the selected items to. The
default location is the default export file path
set in the active profile.
