In the appearance of Visma Net, you can organise the appearance to better correspond to your work responsibilities. In this topic, you will read about the ways the appearance can be personalised. ## Organise the workspace list in the main menu In the appearance, the links to windows and reports are organised in workspaces, each of which corresponds to a functional area in the system. The main menu displays menu items corresponding to these workspaces, such as **Finance** or **Banking**. You can adjust the list of workspaces displayed on the main menu panel by pinning and unpinning workspaces. Pin to the panel only the workspaces that you use frequently. Other workspaces you can access that are unpinned from the panel are hidden under **More items**. You can pin and unpin the main menu items any time you need to. ## Organise the quick menu of a workspace When you click a menu item in the main menu, the system opens the quick menu of the workspace that corresponds to the menu item. You can use this menu to quickly access the windows and reports that you use. You can adjust the list of windows and reports in the quick menu for each workspace. It is recommended that you display on the quick menu only windows and reports that you use frequently. If you click the workspace header, you can toggle between displaying all items and the quick menu. About creating temporary or reusable filters /visma-net-erp/getting-started/personalise-the-presentation-of-data/about-creating-temporary-or-reusable-filters page In Visma Net, you can use simple filters to quickly filter data in table columns, and advanced filters with complicated logical expressions to view only the data you need. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # About creating temporary or reusable filters In Visma Net, you can use simple filters to quickly filter data in table columns, and advanced filters with complicated logical expressions to view only the data you need. In Visma Net, you can use simple filters to quickly filter data in table columns, and advanced filters with complicated logical expressions to view only the data you need. You can create two types of advanced filters: + Temporary: A temporary filter is a filter for short-term use (the current session) that you can set up in a report window to fine-tune the basic report parameters. + Reusable: A reusable filter is a filter you can set up on a processing or inquiry window to filter the data for future uses of the window. This topic describes the design of temporary and reusable filters. ## The Filter settings table For both temporary and reusable filters, you use the Filter settings table to add, edit, delete, and manage advanced filters. With reusable filters, the table is a part of the **Filter settings** dialog box (for details, see [Reusable filter settings dialog box](/visma-net-erp/getting-started/widget-dialog-boxes/reusable-filter-settings-dialog-box/)). With temporary filters, you can find the Filter settings table on the **Additional sort and Filters** tab of the report window; the table has the **Additional filtering conditions** heading. ## Filter clauses A filter clause is a part of a filter represented by a table row in the **Filter settings** table. Any advanced filter consists of either one filter clause or multiple filter clauses. For each clause, you specify the following settings in the table row: Property : The entity type associated with the particular table or report that the filter will be applied to. You select a property from the list of available entity types. Condition : The logical operation that applies to the value of the selected property. You select a condition from the list of available conditions. Value : The value for the logical condition used to filter the data. Depending on the selected property and condition, you enter a value (and sometimes a second value as well, depending on the condition). Each value must conform with the data type of the selected property. Generally, there are a series of fixed values are fixed for the property, such as the **Completed** value for the **Status** property. The filtering process is not case-sensitive; that is, the system doesn't differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters in values. To define a clause, you specify the property, the condition, and the applicable values in the table row. For example: In the Task (EP404000) window, you can search for completed tasks by specifying a filter that has **Status** specified as the property, **Equals** specified as the condition, and **Completed** specified as the value. You use **And** and **Or** operators and parentheses to group clauses into logical expressions. You use the **And** operator to find the records that meet the criteria in both the selected clause and the next clause. You use the **Or** operator to find the records that meet the criteria in either the selected clause or the next clause. You can use parentheses to combine clauses into units as parentheses are used in logical statements to define the order of operations. The **And** and **Or** operators work on a unit in parentheses as if the unit was a single clause. If you try to filter the data by using a string that contains an underscore, the result will also contain the values with the same string with any symbol instead of the underscore. For example: If you try to filter the data by a customer name that contains the **Customer_name** string, the system will return all the customers whose name contains any of the following strings: **Customer_name**, **Customer-name**, and **Customer name**. The reason that all of these strings will be returned is that the underscore is used as a wild card character. ## User-relative filter clauses To simplify the process of filtering data by owner or by work group, three predefined user-relative parameters are available in the system. By using these parameters, you can configure **user-relative clauses**. When you use these parameters, you do not need to create multiple rows with specific values—for example, to specify each work group in which you are a member for the **Workgroup** property. Instead, you can use only one parameter, such as **@MyGroups**, to filter the all records of work groups you are a member of. You can find the full list of user-relative parameters below: + `@Me`: The current user. This parameter can be used only for the user-related properties (such as **Owner** or **Custodian** ) that have **Equal** and **Does not equal** conditions. + `@MyGroups`: The work groups in which the current user is a member, excluding the work groups that are the subordinates of these work groups. You can use this parameter for the **Workgroup** property, which has the **Is in** and **Is not in** conditions. + `@MyWorktree`: The work groups in which the current user is a member, including the groups that are subordinates of these groups according to the company tree structure. You can use this parameter for the **Workgroup** property, which has the **Is In** and **Is Not In** conditions. For the user-relative clauses, the system will filter data by the user currently signed in (by using the **@Me** parameter), or by the work group or work groups the signed-in user is a member of (by using the **@MyGroups** or **@MyWorktree** parameter). ## Date-relative filter clauses To make date clauses in reusable filters more flexible, you can use date-relative parameters—parameters that are relative to the current date. + Date-relative parameters cannot be used in temporary filters on report windows. + For the date-relative parameters, the system uses as the current date the date (in coordinated universal time, or **UTC** ) of the server used to run the Visma Net instance. Changing the business date (in the upper-right corner of the screen) does not affect the filter results. Below you can find the full list of date-relative parameters: + `@Today`: The current date as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting days. + `@WeekStart`: The start of the current week as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting weeks. The start and end of the week are determined according to the default system locale or the locale you selected when you signed in to Visma Net. The system locales are specified and configured in the [System locales](/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/system-locales-sm200550/) (SM200550) window. + `@WeekEnd`: The end of the current week as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting weeks. The start and end of the week are determined according to the default system locale or the locale you selected when you signed in to Visma Net. The system locales are specified and configured in the [System locales](/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/system-locales-sm200550/) (SM200550) window. + `@MonthStart`: The start of the current month as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting months. + `@MonthEnd`: The end of the current month as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting months. + `@QuarterStart`: The start of the current quarter as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting quarters. + `@QuarterEnd`: The end of the current quarter as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting quarters. + `@PeriodStart`: The start of the current financial period. The financial periods are defined in the [Financial year](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/financial-year-gl101000/) (GL101000) window, and the current date is specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting financial periods. + `@PeriodEnd`: The end of the current financial period. The financial periods are defined in the [Financial year](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/financial-year-gl101000/) (GL101000) window, and the current date is specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting financial periods. + `@YearStart`: The start of the current calendar year as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting years. + `@YearEnd`: The end of the current calendar year as specified on the server used to run your Visma Net instance. You can modify this parameter by adding or subtracting months. To add a filter clause with a date-relative parameter, you select the parameter from the list. You can modify the parameters by adding or subtracting integers. The date is calculated according to the measurement of the parameter. The system cannot find any records if the modified date is out of range, and will return an error.

Data imports /visma-net-erp/getting-started/assisted-setup/data-imports page In Assisted setup for Data imports (SM20603S) you can import your customers, suppliers, stock items, and non-stock items to Visma Net. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # Data imports In Assisted setup for Data imports (SM20603S) you can import your customers, suppliers, stock items, and non-stock items to Visma Net. ## Assisted setup You import your data using templates. There are four templates: one for each data type (suppliers, customers, stock items, and non-stock items). Each data type contains one or more classes (see [Create a customer class](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-classes/create-a-customer-class/), [Create a supplier class](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/suppliers/create-a-supplier-class/) ). When you enter data into a template, make sure you enter the correct ID for the customer, supplier, item, or posting class on each line. Importing data with incorrect class IDs can result in errors during invoicing, VAT reporting, and other accounting operations in Visma Net. You can import every type of data more than once. When you do this, new entries will be added and existing entries can be updated, for example, if you use different settings in step 2 and / or make changes in the upload template. ## Step 1: Decide what to import Decide what to import: customers, suppliers, stock items, or non-stock items. Click **Next**. ## Step 2: Classes Use classes to define several settings at once for customers, suppliers, or items. Visma Net uses the settings you select here when the data is imported, and link them to the customer, supplier, or items. When you use classes, you make sure that the imported data is handled according to the correct principles for accounting and to the rules for invoicing and VAT reporting for example. Each class has different settings. Use the drop-down list to select the correct class. By default, Visma Net should contain the correct accounts and settings for your country, but you can make changes to them in this step. If you do, remember to click **Save**. Classes are predefined, but you can change them in Visma Net later: To change customer classes, go to the [Customer classes (AR201000)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-classes-ar201000/) window. To change supplier classes, go to the [Supplier classes (AP201000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-classes-ap201000/). To change posting classes for stock items and non-stock items, select [Posting classes (IN206000)](/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/inventory-windows/posting-classes-in206000/). Click **Next**. ## Step 3: Download, fill in and upload template Download the template for the data type you want to import, enter your data and upload it again. If you are importing customers or suppliers, check the last number used in the number series, so that you can start entering data in your template on the next consecutive number. To check the number series, go to the [Number series (CS201010)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/number-series-cs201010/) window. All columns in the template marked with \* are mandatory. You must fill them in. Some of the columns contain comments with information on how to fill them in correctly. When you have entered data in our template, click **Upload template** and then **Next**. ## Step 4: Import Confirm that you want to do the import. When you click **Import**, your data is imported and displayed in a table. Check the table data for errors. If you find any, you can either edit the information directly in the table, or go back to the previous step and edit the template before you upload it again. Click **Next**. ## Step 5: Summary The summary window gives an overview of the number of rows that have been imported. If you have finished importing data, click **Close**. If you want to continue importing data, click **Import more data**. Email /visma-net-erp/getting-started/assisted-setup/email page With Assisted setup for email, you can setup your email so that you can send invoices and reports from the system to your contacts. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # Email With Assisted setup for email, you can setup your email so that you can send invoices and reports from the system to your contacts. ## Assisted setup The default account name and email address are generated by the system and you cannot change them. To be able to send invoices and reports, you only need to add a reply address. If a customer replies to an email sent via the system, their reply will be sent to the email address you enter here. Click **Save**. If you want to use a different email account to send emails from the system, go to the [System email accounts (SM204002)](/visma-net-erp/help/email/email-windows/system-email-accounts-sm204002/) window. You can view and change the body text used in emails that are sent from the system in the [Notification templates (SM204003)](/visma-net-erp/help/email/email-windows/notification-templates-sm204003/) window.

Subaccounts /visma-net-erp/getting-started/assisted-setup/subaccounts section In Assisted setup of Subaccounts you can define the subaccounts you want to use throughout the system and set the default subaccount for your company. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # Subaccounts In Assisted setup of Subaccounts you can define the subaccounts you want to use throughout the system and set the default subaccount for your company. ## Subaccounts To use subaccounts in your system, go to the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/) window and enable the **Subaccounts** functionality. Before creating the list of required subaccounts, take the time to think through the whole system of accounts and subaccounts. Changing the structure or length of the subaccount segments after you have started to use Visma Net is difficult and may have unpredictable consequences. Note that if you have not decided to use subaccounts when you set up the system, it will be more difficult to start using them later. ## About subaccounts Subaccounts are used to break down large accounts for better tracking of various company earnings and expenses, or for budget allocation. For example, your company might set up a subaccount for each department to track its revenue and costs. If you enable subaccounts in your system and you specify a regular account, you always need to specify the corresponding subaccount. ## About segments [Segment keys (CS202000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-keys-cs202000/) are categories for which you analyse the financial activities, such as a unit, department, or project. Each segment has a number of segment values. For example, the segment Department may have values for R&D, Marketing, Support, and Sales. The combination of segment values determines the subaccount. You can define the number of segments, the length of each segment and whether the segment should contain letters, numbers, or both. The maximum length of a subaccount is 30 characters. ## Step 1: Create segment In step one, you create the segments for your subaccount. You also need to decide whether you want to use the **on-the-fly entry**. This option allows you to create subaccounts in the workspaces by entering combinations of existing segment values, without having to predefine all combinations in the **Create subaccounts** step. One segment is available by default. You can either overwrite the description, length, and edit mask of this segment. 1. Select **Allow adding new values on the fly** if you want to be able to create subaccounts directly in the workspaces. 1. Click ![icon-add](/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png) to add a segment. 1. Enter the **description**, **length**, and **edit mask** (character type). 1. Repeat this process for all segments. 1. Save the changes and click **Next**. ## Step 2: Create segment value In step two you set the values for each segment. Each value represents a specific element within a category. For example, if the segment you created in step one was department, you can not set the value for each department, such as R&D and Marketing. Note that a default value is set for each segment. You can change the description of this default value if you want to use it, if not, delete it. 1. Choose the **segment ID** you want to set the values for. 1. Click ![icon-add](/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png) to add a segment value. 1. Enter the **value** and the **description**. 1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all values for this segment. 1. Repeat this process for all segments. 1. Save the changes and click **Next**. ## Step 3: Set default subaccount In step three you set the default subaccount. The default subaccount replaces the default system subaccount, which is 0. If you have added a new segment to an existing default subaccount, this step will be displayed, and you can define the default value of the new segment. You can only choose the values you have created in step 2 of the wizard. To set the default subaccount, choose the default segment value for the segment in the drop-down lists. Save your changes and click **Next**. ## Step 4: Create subaccounts In step four, you enter a combination of the segment values to form subaccounts that you can use throughout the system. If you have selected **Allow adding new values on the fly** in step 1, you do not need to predefine all subaccounts, and this step is skipped. The **Allow adding new values on the fly** allows you to create subaccounts directly in the workspaces. 1. Click ![icon-add](/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png) to add a subaccount. 1. Enter the values of the **subaccount**. 1. Optionally, enter a **description**. 1. Repeat this process for all subaccounts. 1. Save your changes and click **Finish**. 1. If you have created more than one subaccount, you will be asked if you want to set the default subaccount, if you have not already done that. ## Step 5: Summary The summary gives an overview of all created elements per step.
