Subnet Mask or CIDR in Asset Network Scanning
I noticed in the "Asset Management - Network Scan", "Add Network", you have the option of adding an Entire network or a Range.

10.20.30.0
Without a mask to denote any applicable subnet bits, you've no way of knowing if I want the 10.0.0.0/8 network, the 10.20.0.0/16, or the 10.20.30.0/24, and that's if I limit myself to classful subnets. This feature needs a CIDR or Subnet mask setting so you actually know which bits are the network and which are the hosts.
