Scripts; New Script type to allow standard Summary Page blocks to be overridden
A new Script Type, 'Summary Page Standard Block Override' has been added to allow standard Summary Page blocks to be overridden.
Only a single Script can be used to override Summary Page blocks per database and this is defined on the new Summary Pages page in the General section of Global Settings.
Many blocks support overriding and this list will be expanded over time.
Generally, overridable blocks return an ISSummaryTables object rather than HTML. This is a collection of ISSummaryTable objects that can then be rendered as HTML (via the new HTML Summary Page 2 Builder object) or by reports and potentially, other media types. This takes away some of the traditional flexibility of generating Summary Pages but is a more flexible, more standardised way of producing data.
This functionality allows Summary Pages to be customised in a much more granular fashion whilst still retaining built-in functionality for other parts of the Summary Page. This means changes to the built-in Summary Page will still occur when new versions of finPOWER Connect are installed.
