 2. Click **"Create New Config"**
-3. Use the CIDR-based config creator for quick setup:
+3. Use the form-based config creator:
    - Enter site name
    - Enter CIDR range (e.g., `192.168.1.0/24`)
-   - Select expected ports from dropdowns
-   - Click **"Generate Config"**
-4. Or use the **YAML Editor** for advanced configurations
-5. Save and use immediately in scans or schedules
+   - Select expected TCP/UDP ports from dropdowns
+   - Optionally enable ping checks
+4. Click **"Save Configuration"**
+5. Configuration is saved to database and immediately available for scans and schedules
 
-**Option B: Manual YAML Files**
+**Note**: All configurations are stored in the database, not as files. This provides better reliability, easier backup, and seamless management through the web interface.
 
-Create YAML configuration files manually in the `configs/` directory:
-
-```bash
-# Example configuration
-cat > configs/my-network.yaml <<EOF
-title: "My Network Infrastructure"
-sites:
-  - name: "Web Servers"
-    cidr: "192.168.1.0/24"  # Scan entire subnet
-    expected_ports:
