Add Import Config function to Configuration Management actions

On the Config Management tab of the NCM Configuration Management page you can Download configs, Compare configs, Upload configs and Execute Scripts. This feature request is to request adding the 'Import Config' action as well. In order to import configs (v7.4 and prior), you can only import a config through the Config List resource on the Node Details page. If you have a large number of configs to import, meandering back and forth through Manage Nodes->Node Details pages is very time consuming.

I can see where doing a LOT of imports would be tedious--even worse to have to do it repeatedly every X days or months, and that it would be cool if NCM could simplify and speed this process for you.

Under what situations do you need to import many configurations?

How frequently do you need multiple imports?

(I ask because my imagination hasn't been able to figure out a situation where I'd need the requested feature, and I'm feeling stupid for not being able to figure out when this would be needed in my network!)
