say suppose alarms are being handled by command center and there are 12 notes denoting action taken by them for each alarm.
If my understanding is correct the note_ID is allocated by some internal process, privy to application
Consider attached screenshot
Here the command center will like to see that Mail Sent as Note ID 1 rather than 47 this would place the first three steps that they take in order.
Also, it becomes easier for them to follow the laid process.
