There are two ways to show an All Day Event in ShortPoint. You can use the Connect feature to display events from your SharePoint calendar or you can have a static all day event where you insert new entries directly into a ShortPoint design element.

Part 1: Create dynamic all day events

You can create dynamic all day events by using the Connect feature in ShortPoint. This allows you to pull calendar entries from your site calendar where all day events will be identified.

Step 1: Go to SharePoint Calendar page

Start off with viewing your SharePoint Calendar page where event entries are added to your site:

Step 2: Switch to All Events View

Go to the Calendar tab, click the drop-down options under Current View, and choose All Events.

A list view of the calendar entries will appear. It is important to note that under the All Day Event column, you will see “Yes” for each entry that is an all day event.

This is the view that you will connect to the Events element of your page.

Note: If you do not see this recurring icon column, you will need to click Modify View and put a check beside the Recurrence column as shown below.

Step 3: Connect to All Events View

In the Events element, go to the Connect tab. Select where the calendar you created is located and use the appropriate connection type. In our example, it is located in the Current Site.

Complete the fields by doing the following:

In the List / Library field drop-down, select the calendar you will pull events from. Here, we have a calendar named Company Events.

Choose All Events view in the View field drop down or your custom view if you created one.

Designate the number of days, months, or years of period in the Days Limit field and type how many items you want to display in the Items Limit field.

Choose if you want to show only the first instance of a recurring event or all of the events in the Recurring Events field.

Modify the Preferred Time Zone you want the date and time to be shown or leave blank if you want it to show based on the user's regional settings.

Change the language you want to display the indicators of the all day event ("all day") in the Language field.

Finally, press the green Connect button and wait for the connection to load.

Step 4: Map all day events

Items Mapping will now be available in your Items tab. Choose what information to show about your events.

In this example, we are mapping the Title field to show the Title of the event, the Start Date field to show the Start Time, the End Date field to show the End Time, and the Location field to show the Location from the drop-down.
