If the same fingering appears for more than one string, place the finger flat on the fingerboard as a 'bar', so all the strings can sound.

Examples of use
The 7th chord, also known as the Dominant 7th is so-called because it is formed from the 5th degree (or Dominant) of the scale. So in Eb major , the dominant 7th chord Bb7 resolves to Eb major



It's also possible to use the 7th chord as the dominant of other chords. For example, in Ab major, we could use Bb7 as the "dominant of the dominant". The notes of the Bb7 lead to Eb, which itself can then lead as a Dominant chord back to the tonic Ab.
