Using Umit it’s normal to use the same arguments or make repeated scans and sometimes it’s not easy to search for the same options of nmap again.
Profile Editor is able to create profiles. With it you should be able to save the nmap arguments and run scans with some parameters in the future.
Since Umit Network Scanner 1.0 it was included a manager of Profiles called ProfileManager.
