FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — October 2015 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.5.3. Now serving 59 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 8.5.3 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
| Feature |
Summary |
| Members |
The Configuration > Login Redirect URL attribute has been updated to support CpScripting. |
| EducationCertificateLink CpScript |
A new PDF property is now supported. When set to a value of 1 the script will provide a link to download the certificate in the History view as a PDF. |
| Data Transfer > XML Conversion |
This new module will read complex XML files and try to generate a relational structure as separate related Excel files. This Utility may not work appropriately with all XML formats and may require a change of the source XML in order for the generated files to work with Data Transfer. |
| Forms > Forms Wizard |
There are now 3 Display Types to choose from in the Configure Your Form tab: Defined Styles, Simple HTML and CpScripts Only. A Text Area form field has been added in addition to the regular Text Box form field. There is also a Loading Pop Up between views. |
| HTML5 Media Support |
We have updated the way we handle mp4, webm, and ogv video files as well as mp3, wav, and ogg files for audio. All these file extensions are able to use HTML5 tags to enable playback in the browser with no need for any plugins.
If the new audio or video tags are not supported and it was a format that was supported by windows media player (the old default player) then we would populate that player instead in order to give backwards capabilities for IE users. If it is not a extension which was supported by windows media player then we give the user an option to download the file for watching/listening. |
| Forms > Forms |
A new Force Current CDA Audience attribute is now available when Processing > User Submission = Yes. It can be used to disable the system feature which automatically applies the current audience to users created using forms management. |
| AjaxDataSource CpScript |
A new "cpsys_Column:" prefix is now supported in the TriggerSelector and is expected to be followed by the system name of a column containing a unique value. This property is necessary when an AjaxDataSource is included in a repeated item content attribute where the same data source renders repeatedly. |
| PdfIcon CpScript |
Add new Text property has been added to change the download link from an image to plain text. |
| AudienceInfo CpScript |
An issue with how this script rendered in the script designer and editor preview has been addressed. |
| Console Update View |
All module update (form) views have been updated to improve the tab order. Many of the non-input controls have been excluded from the tab order. The form has also been enhanced to focus on the first standard (non-editor) input element initially, and attribute switches have been updated to property retain focus after an AJAX post back. |
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.
