Showing the hidden "Select Action" button on all hosts page

This has been nack'ed in the past but could we always show the "Select
Action" button on the all hosts page?

Currently this hidden button does not appear until one or more of the host
checkboxes are selected in the full list. It is very common for users that
have enabled orgs/locs to be confused about where to find the "Assign
Organization" and "Assign Location" actions. This is further confused by
the hosts edit page where the org/loc is grayed out and uneditable.

My suggestion would be to always show the Select Action button and have the
individual entries in that list be grayed out.

I'm attaching images of the content hosts page for an example. I think the
button title on this page should be "Select Action" and not be the first
entry in the list ("Change Host Collection"). The button is also disabled
which makes the entries in the list undiscoverable and I would suggest
changing that.

Tom,

I agree and would add that the Select Actions button on the All Hosts page
is the correct styling of the button.

Hello,

I also think the button should be displayed even without selecting any item.

Hey Rox,

Can you explain why the choice was made to use the caret inside the button
instead of the bootstrap split button style?

Thanks,
Walden
