Is there any documentation that you are following?
no

Is there a similar example that we can see?
no

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no built-in way to perform this filtering based on the date custom field. The straight forward way is to add a select custom field to the custom post type to track the day period. You can then sync the value from the date custom field using custom code hooked to save_post. Then you will have to save all current posts to sync the field value. Then you can add a filter around the custom field.

You may also create use a query filter to look for the post between two dates passed as a URL param, then you can create a custom filter(period selector) and add custom Javascript that will sync the "start_date" and "end_date" field from the filter value.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
