FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — July 2017 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.7.7. Now serving 97 enterprise clients and in its 17th 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 8.7.7 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
| Feature |
Summary |
| Web.Config Changes |
This update/sync will dynamically modify all Root/Web.Config files to include new values in appSettings/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogParametersEncryptionKey and machineKey validationKey and decryptionKey attributes. These new keys are generated as part of the repair for the Telerik security vulnerability. The web.config files will be backed up to the site's Backups folder before the changes are made. |
| Data Broadcast UsersInDataCurrentFilter CpScript |
A new DataCurrentModifyDate parameter was added. When set to true it will filter by cpsys_UsersInDataCurrent where the DataId of the records have been created/modified after the ScheduledLastRunDate of the data broadcast. This only works when the ModuleId parameter also contains a value. |
| Form CpScripts |
The DefaultValue property of any form script can be set to 'cpsys_Constant:ResourceInfo:File' to default the control to a value in an existing Design > Media Manager record. This constant requires an RID query string variable that relates to a valid record in this module. |
| PdfIcon CpScript |
This script has been updated to open a window and display CAPTCHA before dynamically generating the PDF. This change was made to prevent bots from dynamically generating PDFs and affecting the performance of the site as a whole. This script also has a new UseDialog property which will open the CAPTCHA in a modal dialog instead of a new page. New ReCAPTCHA attributes have also been added to Design > Data Sources > Module Properties to force this feature to use ReCAPTCHA as opposed to standard CAPTCHA. |
| Security Alert for Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX |
Telerik has informed us of a security vulnerability (CVE-2017-9248) that exists in all versions of Telerik.Web.UI.dll before 2017.2.621 which is included in Centralpoint prior to version 8.7.7. This update resolves this issue and we urge you to install it as soon as possible. If you cannot install and sync to version 8.7.7 soon we strongly suggest you review this article for other options: https://www.aranon.net/Integrations/Centralpoint/Articles/Article.aspx?id=6a10610f-3219-413d-8763-e02f426f788d. |
| Word Add-In |
A new version of the Microsoft Word Add-In has been released that supports updates to document versions. |
| Forms > Forms |
A new Processing > Media Manager (Resources) Submission attribute has been added to insert and update records in Design > Media Manager from file uploads within forms. |
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.
