Display List Header of a List View Web Part

When you add a custom list view web part on a page, the list header is not displaying by default unlike the other web parts namely Categories, Other Blogs and Links.

In order to add a list view web part on a page with list header (for example, you want to use your custom list as a left navigation menu, similar to Categories web part in SharePoint blog site), replace the <ListViewXml> with the item below and then change the View Name value equal to the listview webpart id (__WebPartId).

<ListViewXml xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">&lt;View Name="{D5DE4857-09A5-49CC-8EB3-5D26EDC40238}" Type="HTML" Hidden="TRUE" DisplayName="" Url="/blog/default.aspx" Level="1" BaseViewID="4" ContentTypeID="0x"&gt;&lt;Toolbar Type="None"/&gt;&lt;ViewHeader&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;div class="ms-WPBody"&gt; &lt;div class="ms-navheader"&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;a ]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ id="defviewurl]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;Counter Type="View"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA["&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;ListProperty Select="Title" HTMLEncode="TRUE"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/a&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/div&gt; &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class=""&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;/ViewHeader&gt;&lt;ViewEmpty&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;div class="ms-WPBody"&gt; &lt;div class="ms-navheader"&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;a ]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ id="defviewurl]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;Counter Type="View"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA["&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;ListProperty Select="Title" HTMLEncode="TRUE"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/a&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/div&gt; &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="ms-navSubMenu2"&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="ms-BlogEmptyListText"&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;There are no items in this list.&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;/ViewEmpty&gt;&lt;ViewBody&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;tr class="ms-CategoryTitleRow"&gt;&lt;td class="ms-CategoryTitleCell" id="lnkurl]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;Column Name="ID" URLEncode="TRUE"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA["&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;Field Name="URL"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;/ViewBody&gt;&lt;ViewFooter&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;/ViewFooter&gt;&lt;RowLimitExceeded&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;div class="ms-BlogMoreLinks"&gt;&lt;a href="]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;ListProperty Select="DefaultViewUrl"/&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[" ID=onetidMoreFavs&gt;
                                        ]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;(More Links...)&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;![CDATA[
                                        &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;&lt;/RowLimitExceeded&gt;&lt;Query&gt;&lt;OrderBy&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name="Order" Ascending="TRUE"/&gt;&lt;/OrderBy&gt;&lt;/Query&gt;&lt;ViewFields&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name="URL"/&gt;&lt;/ViewFields&gt;&lt;RowLimit&gt;30&lt;/RowLimit&gt;&lt;/View&gt;</ListViewXml>

After doing the modifications, it will now show the list header of the custom list as shown below:

Filter SharePoint List Views by Date and Time

By default if you do filtering of views by DateTime field via web, it will only filter the views by date, not including time. In order to include time, you need to modify the view using SharePoint Designer. Here are the steps on how to do it.

1. Open the site in which the list or document library resides using Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.
2. Locate the list or document library and open the .aspx file associated with the view (e.g. “AllItems.aspx”)
3. Click the Code tab and locate the CAML query associated with the filter (search on the name of your DateTime field, e.g. "StartDateTime"). 
4. Edit the CAML query to include the IncludeTimeValue attribute (IncludeTimeValue="True"). Please note that you need to include spaces exactly as shown in the sample below: 

            &lt;Gt&gt;
             &lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;StartDateTime&quot;/&gt;
             &lt;Value Type=&quot;DateTime&quot; IncludeTimeValue="True"&gt;
              &lt;Today/&gt;
             &lt;/Value&gt;
