Everyone instructed to be totally inclusive (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

all told

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be totally inclusive' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'everyone instructed' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'instructed' becomes 'told' (I've seen this before).
'all'+'told'='ALL TOLD'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for all told that I've seen before include "In summary" , "Taking everything into account" , "In total" , "Everyone informed" , "book reading's finished?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
