3. The method according to claim 2 , comprising discontinuing display of the further representation of the first all-day event record and the further representation of the second all-day event record when the first representation of the first all-day event record is scrolled onto the display.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the further representation of the first all-day event record and the further representation of the second all-day event record comprises an all-day event bar.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein displaying the further representation of the first all-day event record comprises displaying the further representation of the first all-day event record for a predetermined period of time before displaying the further representation of the second all-day event record.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein displaying the further representation of the second all-day event record comprises displaying the further representation of the second all-day event record for a predetermined period of time before repeating displaying the further representation of the first all-day event record.

7. The method according to claim 2 , comprising discontinuing display of the single all-day time slot upon receipt of an input to change the day view to represent another day.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein displaying the single all-day time slot comprises alternately rendering the further representation of the first all-day event record and the further representation of the second all-day event record near a top of the day view.

rendering a representation of a day in a calendar day view on a display of an electronic device;

retrieving calendar event records that satisfy constraints;

displaying, in the representation of the day rendered in the calendar day view, a first time slot containing a first all-day event record and a second time slot containing a second all-day event record of the calendar event records;

in response to detection of a scrolling operation within the calendar day view that causes the first time slot and the second time slot to be scrolled off the display, displaying a single all-day time slot that alternately displays an indicator of the first all-day event record, and after a predetermined time period, an indicator of the second all-day event record.
