-> You can change how many rows are visible for each day on the month; the calendar shows 6 by default and uses the first row to display the day number. To change the rows-per-day edit the script "Load Calendar Settings - Each Redraw" and change the month brach of the calc used to set the $$sc_RowsPerDay Variable, replacing "6" with the number of rows you'd like to see. Make this 1 more than the number of appts you'd like to see in a day since we use one row for the day number.
-> If your calendar month portal isn't set to show 6 times the number of rows per day, you won't see the whole month. So either increase the number of rows in the portal (and your layout size at the same time) or set the portal to scroll.

The second script, "Format Event Time --- Edit Time Formats for Events Here ---" controls how times are displayed; you'll see a number of commented switches to do things like turn the time from 12hr time to 24hr time.

!! Can I add more fields to the day view?
Sure. Read [[adding fields]] for notes on how to add fields from your events table or from related tables.
Another nice modification is to change the row height on the day view so you can show more than one line per event.
