So if these matter to you, use the calendar view connector.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, now I wonder why not just use the calendar view connector always. Am sure there&#8217;s some reason for the two connectors, will update this post when I find one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Another plus point for the calendar view connector.
