- 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.

Message
Alert
This text is displayed when an action event occurs. If no text
is supplied, then no visual alert will be displayed.
Comments Any values entered into the comment fields will be applied to
a new detail record when the action occurs. The Filter action
type does not add comments, for obvious reasons.
Comments will overwrite existing comments unless the
Overwrite Existing Comment option for the Conditional
Comment or Textual Comment is not selected. Instead, these
comments will be appended, and in the case of Conditional
Comments, any duplicate values will be automatically filtered.
Note: Checking the Overwrite Existing Comment option
with an empty comment will clear any existing comment.
Tag
Session
This section is displayed only if Source is set to Tag Session.
Users can select one or more tag sessions as a source for
looking up tag codes to fire an action. This is a more dynamic
lookup because a static list of tag codes does not have to be
managed within the action itself. As detail records are added
to the selected tag session, the action will automatically use
the new records as a source.
