For iFIX Alarms the following group types are available:

This option opens the Database Group builder where a query can be configured to retrieve data from any table available in the database connected to by the connector.

If the Perform by Server option is checked, any filter configured in this tab is put into the WHERE clause of the query sent to the database to retrieve data for the group. Otherwise, the configured filtering is performed by the reporting engine after the values are returned. It is recommended to leave this setting checked as the performance is much better.

The Alarm Type setting is used to retrieve either a specific type of alarm or Any to retrieve every time of alarm. For more information on alarm types, see the iFIX documentation.
