match any

an option that applies OR logic to multiple conditions, so that an item matches if it meets at least one of them rather than all of them.

In plain English

This treats the conditions as alternatives rather than a single combined requirement. An item is included when it satisfies at least one condition, even if it does not satisfy the others.

In context

Here, “match any” labels the filter choice that treats the rules as alternatives, so an item is matched when at least one rule is met.

Situation
Using dashboards, tables, filters, sorting, views, and bulk controls
What it communicates
labels the filter logic choice for requiring at least one rule

Meaning limits

The term itself does not specify what the conditions are or how many of them there are.

Examples

“The filter will match any parcel marked red or large, not only parcels marked both.”

Core meaning

“For the second rule group, we set it to match any of the colour or size conditions.”

In context

  • match all Contrast

    This option differs by requiring every condition to be met, not just one.
