OwlMed: All Day Events

Adding a new event in Leo has never been easier, and you can now create all of your events from a single place! If you don’t want to designate a specific time for an event, just use the “all-day” option.  All-day events can span a single day or multiple days, and they will appear at the top of your calendar. Essentially, the “all-day” event option replaces the need to create Long Events separately (more on that below).

Options for adding faculty and groups on the same page. This should save you a lot of time when updating events and preparing for new courses in Leo.
