FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — February 2010 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.0.28. Now serving 4 enterprise clients and in its 10th 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 8.0.28 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The BreadCrumbTrail CpScript has a new property called "ShowRootItem". Setting this property to false will cause the bread crumb trail to exclude the root or "Home" item. We've also added support for the Home View (#1) category query string variable to the bread crumb trail.
- A new module designer script called ProximitySearch has been developed and documented in the Module Designer help file. A proximity search is a search conducted over a specified distance from any given location. Although this proximity search can be added to any module it will only work with modules that have a GeoCode attribute and the related Latitude and Longitude fields in the Relation. You can also use the Column script within a results item with the column name 'cpsys_Distance' to display the distance of the result from the given location. The distance column includes the units used in the search which can be aliased. This column will only display when a proximity search is conducted.
- The Scheduled Tasks implementation has been modified to use a text file to prevent execution overlap as opposed to standard application based locks. This change allows the scheduler to prevent overlaps even when the application is restarted and prevents a backlog of executions.
- A difference in the way an error is reported by IIS as opposed to the .NET Framework caused Admin > Error Messages to fail to execute 404 redirects from .NET Framework pages. This problem has been resolved and all system 404 redirects have been updated.
- A SearchResults property has been added to the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript. When this property is set to a string it will be appended to the end of the trail when a search is executed. This property does not apply when the current taxonomy is included in the trail. By default this property is empty and has no effect on the trail.
- A new module suite called Reports has been released. The modules in this suite will not be enabled in any site until they are selected in the related master. This module suite is designed to build and organize reports based on module content or any other database connection. Reports can be built using the Reports > Report Builder module. You can view and export (Tab Delimited or Excel XML) report content by clicking on the View button in the Report Builder grid view. You can also copy the View link to the Development > Console Navigation module to create custom Reports navigation items. The help file for these modules outlines their use in more detail.
- A new console popup has been developed called the Select Command Builder and has been integrated into the header text of the Reports > Report Builder > Select Command attribute. This popup can be used to build SQL select commands for standard modules including all Relation columns and Module attributes. It also includes a few system filters that can be easily added to select commands.
- A new Job has been added to the Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks module called Notifications. A daily task to run this job on all web sites has been automatically created and added to all sites. This job is designed to interact with modules supporting the Notifications interface and send emails accordingly. Only the Reports > Report Builder module currently inherits the Notifications interface.
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.
