3. Add the start time or all day option

At the bottom of the Edit Appointment screen, the selected date appears as the Start Time, and All Day is checked. So, by default, the event does not have start or end time.

Note: All-day events appear differently than those with start and end times. For example, in a weekly view, all-day events appear at the top, while those with start and end times appear in their time slot, as shown in the following figure.
