Use System Timestamp for Event Date

When enabled, the computer's date and time will be entered into the Event Date field during data entry.

Dates and times in P5 are time zone aware, so the computer can remain set to the local time zone and use Daylight Saving Time. When data from P5 is loaded into PTAGIS, all times will be converted to Pacific Standard Time.

	Use System Timestamp for Release Date
	When enabled, the computer's date and time will be entered into the Release Date field during data entry.

	Use Reader GPS for Lat/Long
	When enabled, latitude and longitude coordinates will be used for the location fields if you are using a GPS enabled reader and no coordinate values have already been entered into the current record by Repeating Value or keyboard. This setting has no effect on external GPS units.
