- 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 Text Files
P3 can import a CSV (comma-separated values) or other delimited text file and
create a tag session
from it. This powerful feature allows tagging data from other
applications to be easily incorporated into a P3 tag session.
This feature maps field values in a text file to detail record field
values in a tag
session. This feature will only import single-character species, run and rearing-type
codes
.
Steps for Importing Text Files
1. Select Import->CSV/Text File command located under the File menu.
