I have a Alarm Status Table located in a docked window and I want it to dynamically change the shown alarms based on the Main window that's currently opened to only show alarms of that window. Each Main window has a Tag Folder with all respective tags in it. How should I go about doing this? thanks in advance.

Vision or Perspective?

However, I think they both filter similarly. You send a comma separated string using wildcards. My advice, get it working statically first, then use a binding or script from your tag list.

You say Window, so I assume Vision.  
Vision client tags have a tag with the main window path in it. Use that in your expression on the AST's source filter
