- 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.

Tag Actions
When a new tag code
is received during data entry, the new tag code can be
matched against a group of codes in a tag action. If the tag look-up is successful (as
defined below) P3 will display an alert and, if so configured, will automatically insert
comment values into the current detail record.
Tag actions have three modes of action:
• Filter certain tag codes entered from a device.
• Generate an alert if a new tag code is in a list.
• Generate an alert if a new tag code is not in a list.
Tag Action Manager
Tag actions can be created and modified using the action manager, displayed below,
and accessed from the Tools menu. Use the right-click menu to display additional
commands such as copy, delete and rename. Also, tag actions can be exported
and then imported
into other P3 installations. Multiple tag actions can be selected at
one time for deletion.
Tag Action Settings and Commands
Note: Any modification to an existing tag action will only take effect when the
'Action' window is closed. When the window is closed, all settings are saved to the
database and any open tag session will be automatically synchronized with the
modified tag action settings.
