FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — September 2015 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.5.1. Now serving 58 enterprise clients and in its 15th 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 8.5.1 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
| Feature |
Summary |
| Admin > Properties > Web Site Generated URL Casing |
An issue was addressed when using this property and URLs not being affected. Also, an issue was resolved with FormButtons using this functionality and returning an error. |
| AlpahNav CpControl |
This control has been updated to add a 'selected' class after clicking a letter, an 'over' class when the mouse hovers over a letter, and the 'cpsty_alphaNav' class has been added to all anchor tags. An issue has also been addressed which caused an incorrect tooltip to be displayed on a previously visited link. |
| Attribute/Column CpScripts |
A new 'cpsys_Empty' constant can now be placed in the ReplaceText property in order to replace an empty value with the ReplaceWith properties value. |
| Blogs > Topics |
A new attribute was added to Site Architecture > Module Designer > Blogger called Filter By System Date. When enabled the blogger's topics will be filtered using the standard Centralpoint date filter. |
| Data Transfer CreateResource CpScript |
This new data transfer script was created to dynamically generate new resources from any file in the file system. This script was designed to create new resources and will not update existing resources. |
| Data Transfer FileReadAllText CpScript |
The default case has been changed to return an empty string for all unsupported extensions. It now only supports the following file extensions: .txt, .csv, .tab, .htm, .html, .css, .xhtml, and .md. Other valid text extensions can be added upon request. |
| Data Transfer GetRandomFileName CpScript |
This new data transfer script can be used to generate random file names. |
| Design > Data Sources |
A new Formatting > Formatting Options = Timeline option has been created in order to generate a time line using any module. |
| Design > File Manager |
This new module was created to provide administrative access to the Root/Uploads directory. |
| ExtClickTracking CpScript |
This new script was created to update all anchor HRef property on a page to point to Click.aspx dynamically. It can be done on any page or for all pages using Admin > Properties > Header Content. It also utilizes a property to pass in a jQuery selector so it can only affect the specified HTML elements. |
| ExtCpsysMemory CpScript |
This new script was developed to add Centralpoints 'cpsys' JSON object to a cookie automatically and update Details View (#3) links to include a query string variable that references that cookie. This can be used when custom code is added to the Details View (#3) that looks for the cookie when the query string variable exists and uses those values. |
| FormRadioButtonList/FormListBox CpScripts |
A new RememberEmptiedMultiSelector property has been added. This property can be enabled to prevent a rare problem caused when optional multi select lists are placed on multiple post backs and all selections are removed during a post back. Without this option set you may find that the removed options reappear. |
| FormRangeValidator CpScript |
This CpScript now supports a new Required property. If this is set to false, the validator will not fire if the ItemToValidate is empty. |
| NavigationTier CpScript |
This script now supports 2 new properties: ShowSubNavigationHtml and SubNavigationItemFormat. These two properties will allow you to put Sub Navigation HTML into the list of navigation items as content. |
| Publishing > Articles |
A new Resource Content attribute has been added to the Module Configuration. When configured it will store the data of the document uploaded so that it may can be searched. |
| RTF Editor > Media Manager |
We have updated the Media Manager within the RTF Editor so as to overload the HTML when you are attempting to add an HTML5 supported file extension (.ogv, .mp4, and .webm for video and .ogg, .mp3, .wav for audio *Support for these may vary depending on the browser) to create the new HTML5 syntax for the appropriate player. |
| Site Architecture > System Pages > Search |
An issue was addressed where the Search Footer Content wasn't showing on the search landing page. |
| Web.Config Changes |
This update will add MIME types for HTML5 video and audio file extensions to all Root/Web.Config files (Master and WebSites) if they do not already exist: .ogg, .ogv, .mp4, and .webm. |
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.
