Default Property Values for New Sessions

Project Code

Select the default MRR Project code (this used to be known as the Coordinator ID) to use for new Sessions. A Session can only contain data from one MRR project.

File UDF

Enter 1 to 3 characters to use by default as the User Defined Field (UDF) portion of the P5 File name. Every session that is created with this profile will use this same UDF in the file name, which is useful if there are multiple tagging locations occurring for the same project on the same day. The UDF can be used to distinguish between these different tagging operations, ensuring that each file created on the same day has a unique File Name. The File Name is used as a key in PTAGIS to specify a distinct set of PIT tag records, so all files that contain different data must have unique File Names. See the MRR Field Definitions page for more information on the File Name format.

If this field is left blank, the UDF portion of the file name will be incremented (starting at 001) for each new session created on the same day.

Session Message

Enter the default Session Message to use for new sessions. The Session Message is a brief description of the purpose and/or scope of the tagging project and is a required field in P5.

Session Note

Enter the default Session Note to use for new sessions. Session Note is a large comment field that can be used to record ad hoc information about the tag session as a whole.

Folder

Select the default P5 folder in which the session will be saved. This can be changed before the session is created and while the session is open for data collection.

Repeating Values

Select the default set of Repeating Values to use when a new session is created. This can be changed before the session is created and while the session is open for data collection.

Data Entry Layout

Select the default Data Entry Layout to use when a new session is created. This can be changed before the session is created and while the session is open for data collection.
