Condition category and condition

When neither the condition category nor the condition is specified, the alarm table is automatically bound to the agents corresponding to the specified product ID.
When both the condition category and the condition are specified, the alarm table is automatically bound to the agents meeting the specified condition.
When you specify a business group name as the condition, the alarm table is automatically bound to the agents belonging to the specified business group.
