Hi ,

I have an overlayed calendar list where I have to remove the start time and end time fields from the events.

How do I hide or remove these Time fields from the events of an overlayed calendar list.

Can anybody help me????

Hi Lakshmi,

For OOTB calendar view, Start time and End time are required. I think you cannot remove these fields.

You can try to create a custom calendar web part if you really want to achieve this.

Pengyu is correct.  If you don't have the Start and End times, how else would you be able to determine how the calendar view would display the items?  If you have two other date/time fields that you want to use, you could always create a custom list and then create a view using the Calendar format.  But keep in mind that not only will you lose the Connect To Outlook option (not available with a Custom List), the the Calendar Overlay option is only available with lists based on the Calendar List template.

Thats not entirely correct, You cant delete the "end time" field, Yes. But you can make it an optional or HIDDEN field through the "content types" section of the calendar. ensure that you have content types editing enables for the site. 

Enable "content types editing" in advanced settings under site settings

go to calendar settings

click on "event" under content type

click on "end time" under the columns section

Select either optional or Hidden

and voila! :)

Hope this helps
