Match all means that only those items matching ALL of the filtering criteria pass through the filter.
Match any means that items matching any one or more of the filtering criteria pass. -

When using the <, <>, and > operators in a filter item, null values are not included in the filtered results. To include null values, the operator = and the value Null have to be added to the Filter Definition. For example, if all the pipe runs that do not have an Item Tag value equal to 01-100 are to be filtered, then the filter definition is set to Match any and the following criteria used in the Filter Definition:
Item Tag <>01-100
Item Tag = Null.
