## Hierarchy tab On the **Hierarchy** tab, you can view the hierarchy associated with a holiday calendar. A **hierarchy** organizes divisions—regional, organizational, and so on—into parent-child relationships. This structure allows child divisions to inherit settings from parent divisions. In this example, Rome inherits all holidays assigned to the Lazio region, and Lazio inherits all holidays assigned to Italy. Rome can also have its own holidays specific to the city. To view and edit an associated calendar, select **View details**. Hierarchy tab on the Calendar details screen # Create and manage holiday calendars You can create a new holiday calendar or import one that was previously exported from another organization or environment. For example, when promoting a configuration from sandbox to production, export the holiday calendar from the sandbox environment and import it into the production environment. The following sections explain how to create, edit, export, and delete holiday calendars. ## Create a calendar To create a new calendar or import an existing one. 1. From the main menu, select  **Configurations** > **Holidays**.\ The **Holidays** screen is displayed. Create calendar button and export-import menu items 2. On the **Holidays** screen: * **Create a new calendar**—Select **Create calendar** and complete the wizard. * **Import an existing calendar**—From the actions menu, select **Import** and upload a holiday calendar as a JSON file. You'll get a notification once the calendar is ready, which can take up to four hours. ## Edit a calendar Wherever the edit icon (pencil) appears, you can make changes, including: * **Calendar name**—Enter a new name * **Tag**—Select an existing tag or enter a new one. Tags groups calendars to make them easier to find. * **External ID**—Enter an External ID, which is an identifier used to reference a resource in a system external to Pismo. It can be up to 36 characters. * **Working days**—Change working days, which are the days when transactions are allowed. * **Next parent level**—Select a new parent for this calendar in the hierarchy.
