Smarts NCM: Unable to select Pull All for a Network; Is it possible to do an entire network level Scheduled Pull as with individual devices?

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


User unable to select Pull All for a Network

For individual devices or a selection of devices you can right click on the marked devices and create a scheduled job by choosing "Schedule Pull Selected".    
    
When you right click on a network, you don't have this option and can only choose from "Pull Config", "Pull Hardware" or "Pull All", but not a selected pull like for individual devices.    
    
So for example if you wanted to create a job for all devices under a network that collects ARP and MAC entries from the devices, but don't want to pull "All" from the devices. this is currently not possible
