Groups typically reflect the geographical layout of the system. Field devices and remotes are assigned to a group for alarm and event reporting and for control. Groups are assigned to one or more areas of responsibility, and Controllers and computers are then given permission to control or view certain areas. Each record in the group table corresponds to one group. It stores the name of the group and the corresponding printer (spooler).
The group table contains the following internal fields:
