Arrange the holidays list

To more easily view data in the list, do one or more of the following:

To sort the content of a column in alphabetical or chronological order, click the column header. (Click the header again to reverse the sort order.)
To change the width of a column, move the pointer over the edge of the column and when the re-size icon appears, click and drag the column to the desired size.
To rearrange the columns, click and drag a column header to a new location on the table.
If the list contains more entries or columns than can be displayed on your screen, scroll horizontally or vertically. The system automatically loads more data as you scroll down the page.
To include or exclude columns, click the Columns drop-down menu and select or clear the columns that are included. When you've hidden a column and want to see it again, it is added as the last column of the table.

The Holidays list includes the following columns:

Search for holidays

You can use the search bar to find holidays that contain the search term in their name. Start typing in the search bar (a minimum of two characters is required). xMatters automatically updates the list to display items that contain (partially match) the search term, and highlights the portion of each item that matches the specified criteria. If you search multiple terms, xMatters returns sites that match all of the terms.

To clear your search, click the 'x' in the right corner of the search bar.

Filter the holidays list

The available filters allow you to narrow the holidays based on matching specific criteria. For example, you can use filters to view only custom holidays or all holidays observed by a specific country.

You can apply one or more filters to narrow down the list of holidays. If you apply multiple filters, xMatters only returns holidays that match all of the specified filter criteria. For detailed instructions on how to use filters, see Filtering data tables.

The following table describes the available filters on the Holidays page and their values:

Filter	Values
Country	Show All: Holidays observed by any country. List of countries: Select one or more countries from a list of countries in your system.
