FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — November 2009 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.0.22. Now serving 4 enterprise clients and in its 9th year of operation since its founding on September 1, 2000, Oxcyon continues to deliver regular platform updates across its growing base of enterprise licensees.
Version 8.0.22 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The "Hidden Features" module configuration now has two new values: "Form: Save Draft Button" and "Form: Save/Finish/Restore Button (Disable)". These values are used to create a read only module by disabling the save button and/or the save draft button.
- The Members and Site Architecture > Administrators modules have been updated to more clearly clarify the difference between these two modules. The Accessible Audiences attribute now always display two checkboxes, web site and console, regardless of the users audience posting mode personalization setting. There is also new header text that describes that checking the second (right hand) checkbox will cause the user to become a console administrator and move them from Members to Site Architecture > Administrators. The same changes have been made to Admin > Roles.
- The installation tool has been modified so that it does not activate all scheduled tasks upon installation. Previously, some custom scheduled tasks developed for one server were enabled on other servers. We can now determine which scheduled tasks should be enabled by default in a new installation.
- We have added progress notification to our bulk copy methods used to import data into modules. Previously, when a large amount of data was imported into a module it executed without notification. Now you can be notified after a specified number of records so that you know that the process has not stalled.
- Security exceptions caused by URLs that are not activated within the parent master or uber console now send an email to serveradmin@oxcyon.com and Admin > Settings > Error Notification Email instead of reporting an error to uber. The error message displayed has also been modified to alert the user to contact the site administrator.
- It was determined that the Design > Styles > Sub Nav > Font Color attribute was not being utilized by the site navigation. To repair this problem the system name of the attribute was changed which will cause the attribute to lose its value after the sync. This should not cause any changes to the existing sites since the value was not utilized in the first place.
- A bug in the Aliases implementation has been repaired that prevented aliases from being deleted once a site was moved from one server to another. The same fix was applied to Keywords, Triggers, and Console Navigation.
- Centralpoint authentication in all consoles and web sites has been modified to store and reference the user's unique identifier (UserId) instead of their user name. We've also add a database level distinction between local users, authentication within Centralpoint, and users that are created by integration authentication sources. This allowed us to remove the unique validation from the user's email address and change the unique validation on the user's name so that it only requires uniqueness within local users. These changes were made to support users from different authentication sources that may have the same user name. All features of all users modules have been affected by this change.
- The web site CleanUp utility that is executed by the sync or manually using Development > Utilities has been updated to remove orphaned records from the survey submission tables. It has also been updated to reapply all necessary file system permissions during the sync, update, and scheduled executions.
- The Admin > Global Login module has been completed including the Centralpoint and Active Directory authentication sources. Until new authentication sources are created, all web sites will continue to use Centralpoint authentication. The details of this module are outlined in the help file: http://www.aranon.net/Integrations/Centralpoint/Articles/Article.aspx?id=2f4049f7-190a-4b1d-837d-ace72cdfa56f .
- The Surveys module suite is officially released.
- The StayWell integration and module suite is officially released.
- Forms > Dashboard Modules now allows you to select either a web site navigation item or a standard module as the source. This will allow you to create dashboards containing modules that don't have a web site user interface or navigation reference.
- Forms > Forms > Processing now supports custom integrations via the Integration Type attribute. We have also completed the Pay Flow Pro (PayPal) integration.
About Oxcyon and Centralpoint
Oxcyon is a technology company specializing in enterprise knowledge platforms, best known for its flagship solution, Centralpoint. Centralpoint is designed to unify structured and unstructured information across organizations, enabling enterprises to aggregate data from disparate systems, normalize it through rich metadata, and transform it into actionable knowledge. By treating information as interconnected knowledge rather than isolated documents or databases, Centralpoint allows organizations to build a true enterprise knowledge layer — one that supports governance, compliance, operational intelligence, and advanced analytics. Its metadata-first architecture enables organizations to ingest, classify, and relate data from sources such as documents, forms, databases, applications, and external systems, creating a centralized environment for discovery, reporting, and operational decision-making.
What differentiates Centralpoint is its ability to go beyond traditional data management into data mining, inferencing, and AI-driven knowledge operations. Through taxonomy systems, relationship modeling, and rule-based data governance, the platform can identify patterns, infer relationships between records, and automate workflow decisions based on contextual intelligence. This capability allows organizations to move from passive data storage to active knowledge processing — surfacing insights, triggering workflows, and powering intelligent automation. With its integrated support for enterprise search, metadata-driven analytics, workflow orchestration, and AI-ready data structures, Centralpoint positions Oxcyon as a leader in modern data aggregation and knowledge intelligence platforms, helping organizations transform complex information ecosystems into governed, searchable, and intelligent operational systems.
