RAA - consolidate screens for 'Collect Inventory' to 1 or 2

Having eight screens is really too much - to keep pressing 'Next' all the time. For example, one screen for 'site' (that you don't normally change anyway), then one screen to specify directory and so on. 1 or 2 screens would be enough. And all the information have to be recorded for later use. Also, adding 'browse' to select the directory.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. However, your request is not currently aligned with our product strategy and we have no plans to address your request in RAA. Again, thank you for your suggestion.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
