Icon for selecting related data [on hold]
I am working on a web application that includes a feature to export some data.
When exporting this data, there are 2 types of entities that the user can select: Type A
and Type B
. Type A
is its own thing, but owns 1 or more instances of Type B
. Sometimes the user wants to export some instances of Type A
, sometimes they will want to export some instances of Type B
, and sometimes they want to export both at the same time.
To present the data to the user, I'm using a dialog with the following layout:
So now to the actual question:
Since Type A
owns one or more instances of Type B
, I'd like to have an icon in the row for a Type A
to quickly select all entries of Type B
owned by that Type A
, but I'm having a hard time coming up with an icon that is clear.
Right now, I use this icon: with an instant tool-tip that basically says "Select all Type B
for this Type A
".
I know I should probably just do some user testing to see if this is clear enough, but is there a "standard" icon commonly used for this scenario? Is the arrow icon I've chosen sensible?
