In some cases, you may be required to perform the steps of the procedure in
sequential order, while in other cases you may be able to do them in a different
order.
 If you see a step automatically checked off in the assisted procedure, this
means that this step was automatically executed (either when the event
occurred, when you initiated alarm handling, or depending on configuration).
