This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

## The window toolbar

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>
  </colgroup>
<thead class="vismanet-table__head">

<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Button</th>
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Process</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Initiates the processing, based on the selected action, of the customer accounts you have selected.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Process all</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Initiates the processing of all customer accounts listed in the table.</td>
</tr>

</table>


## The top part

Here, you can select the action to be performed if you click
**Process** or **Process all**.
Also, you
can specify the time interval during which the final dunning letters were generated.

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Action</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>The operation the system performs if you click
<strong>Process</strong> or <strong>Process all</strong>. The following options are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apply credit hold</strong>: Prevents users from creating any new sales orders for the selected customers.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you select this option, the table will include only the customers eligible for
applying the credit hold.
In other words, the table will
include the customers for which the final dunning
letters were generated <strong>and</strong> the credit hold was
not applied.
This rule applies only when the
<strong>Show all</strong> check box is not
selected.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Release credit hold</strong>: Takes the selected customer accounts off hold so that new sales orders can be created.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you select this option, the table will include only the customers eligible for releasing the credit hold. In other words, the table will include the customers for which the final dunning letters were generated <strong>and</strong> the credit hold was applied. This rule applies only when the <strong>Show all</strong> check box is not selected.</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Show all</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">A check box that you select to have the table include all the customers for which the
final dunning letters were generated in the specified date
range.
If you do not select this check box, the table will
display the customers as specified in the description of the
<strong>Action</strong> field.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Start date</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>The starting date of the date range within which the final dunning letters were
