"Select all" vs "Any"

How the "Select all" option works in drop-down lists, and what is the difference between that and "Any"

Updated over 5 months ago

Select all

The Axiom user console includes multi-select drop-down lists in:

Every multi-select has an option on top called "Select all"

The values for the multi selects are "paged" - this means that as you scroll down more items are loaded. Every select also has a search field which re-loads the lost based on your search text.

"Select all" means "select all items that are currently loaded". In other words if you searched for "abc", and received three results, Select all will select these three results. This is the second number in the parenthesis.

The first number in the parenthesis is how many item you currently have selected. This number can be higher of the number of items currently visible - this happens when you select some items and then do a search which hides the items you already selected (do not match the search).

Note that if you choose "Select all" when you already have items. selected, this will replace the existing selection. However, if you select items individually, these will be added to the list of selected items. Again, you can tell how many you have selected by looking at the first number ion the parenthesis.

Also note that the second number is the number that can currently be selected based on how many items have been loaded (based on your scrolling) - it may not be the overall number of results matching your search (you need to leep scrolling and loading matching results, until all have been loaded).

Any

The "Any" option is only available for the Permissions field in scopes. Selecting this option causes the following:

  • Assigned requester/ approver of that scope can request/ approve any Permission.

  • For AWS it also means that the assigned requester/ approver of that scope can request/ approve crafted requests.
