RAA - 'Collect Inventory' selection to be saved for future use

In RAA when you 'Collect inventory' you define your criteria going through eight screens. These selections usually do not change. Every time I want to re-scan my resources I have to start from the scratch. Instead, all the data can be saved and presented on one screen with option to 'Edit' your selection.
For example, 'Select site' - it is almost always stays the same. Scanning opions, concatenation set - as well.

    We did consider enhancing the Asset Analyzer to keep track of inventory collection requests, together with all their parameters and possibly logs from the runs. However, this is not likely to be implemented in the RFE two year timeframe.

    Please note that if you go to a container details page and select the "Action" drop down's " Queue container for analysis" you will be presented with a simplified scanning wizard. You can do it for multiple containers and then go to Database->Analysis queue, Action->Start postprocessor.
