Any Elements (XSM)

Any elements allow you to attach any type of object to a choice or a sequence group particle.

The following illustration shows an Any in a diagram:

In an XSD file, Any is declared with the <any> tag:
In a DTD file, Any is declared within an <!ELEMENT> tag with the keyword "ANY":
In an XDR file, Any is declared through of an <ElementType> tag (resources in the example) with its model attribute set to "open". Although it is displayed in a diagram, Any is not considered as an object in an XDR file:

Creating an Any Element
You can create an Any element from the Toolbox or from a group particle property sheet.
Any Element Properties
To view or edit an any element's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.
