Maintenance & Support

Whether we're building and hosting your project or enabling you to manage multiple portals, you can count on our support. Each support agreement is tailored to your specific needs. We assist clients with advanced Development teams, handling complex web projects, and providing hosted solutions for less experienced clients. Oxcyon creates a custom support plan to ensure ongoing assistance after your project launch. Our support covers a range of services, including supporting any on-premise Centralpoint Master Server, Evergreen Updates, Version History, and training for each new release.

Centralpoint is updated biweekly to ensure you have the latest tools, regardless of hosting. Our maintenance agreement offers continuous support, granting access to our production management team from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm (Standard Support). Oxcyon provides support throughout our agreement, including Evergreen Updates, SDK access, and ongoing training.

Developer Support

Oxcyon supports your development team by granting them full customization control over Centralpoint. We offer an SDK, Class Library, and database diagrams upon request. Additionally, we provide tailored training for your team based on their internal development requirements. Our goal is to ensure your developers receive high-level expertise so they can work independently, minimizing our intervention. We view ourselves as a trusted ally, maintaining a partnership through our Evergreen Updates. We also learn from your developers, gaining valuable insights and ideas for future development.

Oxcyon collaborates closely with your development team to integrate with their back-office initiatives. Whether it's authenticating against your AD/LDAP or exchanging credentials through a web service, we manage the User Experience cohesively. This applies within Centralpoint or even in other applications via Centralpoint-To-Go. We can expose web services and APIs on a per-client basis, including examples of SOAP and RESTful Web Services in our SDK.

Hosting: On-Premise or SaaS

Centralpoint is versatile in its installation options: on-premise, in the Cloud, or through hybrid, FedRAMP-compliant, and Private Cloud configurations. It's compatible with Azure, AWS, Google, and other platforms. For managed cloud hosting, Rackspace is the typical choice, although we can support AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud environments. Oxcyon offers managed services for Dedicated and Cloud hosting, including Security services. Your organization might have instances of Centralpoint both in the cloud and on-premise (e.g., for an Intranet). We provide managed SaaS hosted solutions or on-premise installations, even behind firewalls.

Oxcyon ensures all clients are up-to-date through our alliance with Rackspace, which recently acquired DataPipe. This partnership offers Compliant hosting services (HIPAA, PCI, etc.). Our bi-weekly Evergreen Updates, facilitated by the Rackspace partnership, maintain your environment's relevance. These updates are optional, testable locally before activation. Regardless of your hosting choice, Centralpoint requires a Microsoft Windows Operating System and Microsoft SQL (Standard or Enterprise).

Centralpoint can be installed on premise (within your environment), hosted for you by Oxcyon, or in the Cloud (including Hybrid cloud). No matter where you host, you are guaranteed to never become obsolete due to our unique, evergreen updates. These (pull) updates, provide you with the latest, greatest version of Centralpoint at all times, including all of our out of the box modules, which we release bi-weekly.

Evergreen Updates

Centralpoint stands out as the exclusive ECM offering evergreen updates, ensuring bi-weekly pulls of the latest release for each client. This distinctive feature nullifies obsolescence and confers a competitive edge over rivals. Consider this: How can you install other solutions and expect their relevance without such updates? Centralpoint obviates the need for further investments in web technology; it always remains current, regardless of hosting location.

These evergreen updates are PULL updates, sourced from Oxcyon every two weeks, be it on premise, behind a firewall, or in the cloud. Importantly, our updates don't disrupt local custom development. Your work remains separate from our updates, allowing both to progress efficiently. New features and options are available at no extra cost, utilized as needed. We take pride in leading clients by introducing novel features sourced from their insights — the Voice of Customer — guiding our R&D. These updates mirror an expanding toolkit for competitiveness in the evolving digital realm. Our role is to consistently provide you the finest digital tools. Their activation timing rests with you, but they should evolve with changing technology.

Change is constant, in technology and life. Embrace this truth with a forward-thinking digital strategy and partnership that keeps you ahead. Bid farewell to obsolescence.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.96

Monday, November 25, 2024

Feature	Summary
Excel Viewer	Issues have been reported where Excel sheets containing large quantities of rows are causing the excel viewer page to crash. The system will now limit the amount of rows displayed to a maximum of 5,000 rows per sheet. When sheets are loaded with this limitation, a notification is presented to the user informing them that the sheet is displaying "5,000 of N rows" and to download the file to view the full data set.
Admin > Properties > Header Tags > Enable Embedder (beta)	A new beta feature that enables JavaScript generation capabilities across Centralpoint. When you enable the Embedder feature under Admin > Properties > Header Tags, you can now generate embeddable JavaScript code derived from your Centralpoint content and site search functionality. This enhancement allows for seamless integration of Centralpoint elements into external websites. Upon activation, you'll find a new Site Search JavaScript property in your site settings, which connects to an intuitive JavaScript builder tool. We've also extended this functionality to the Forms, Surveys, and Data Sources modules, each receiving their own JavaScript attributes for enhanced portability and integration options.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.95

Monday, November 11, 2024

Feature	Summary
Data Transform > Data Transfer	Two new count attributes have been introduced to track data transfer metrics. Total Count maintains a running tally of all transferred rows, though this resets when destination rows are deleted. Recent Count specifically tracks the number of rows processed during the latest execution, providing visibility into the most current transfer activity.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.94

Monday, October 28, 2024

Feature	Summary
Web.config: Assembly Binding Updates and Script/Style Bundling	Assembly binding redirects will be added to the runtime section of all master, web site, and console web.config files for WebGrease (redirecting to version 1.6.5135.21930), Aspose.Imaging (redirecting to version 24.8.0.0), and Newtonsoft.Json (redirecting to version 13.0.0.0). These dependentAssembly elements will only be added if they do not already exist in the configuration files for the specified assembly names. A new appSetting "Enable.Bundling" will be supported, which is enabled by default in console applications when the setting does not exist. If script and style bundling issues are encountered in the consoles, bundling can be disabled by adding the appSetting with a value of "0" and removing the runtime element.
Telerik RTF Editors	An issue was reported when users copy and paste within the Design View of the system's RTF Editors. Relative URL paths were automatically converted into absolute paths using the domain from the browser. This was creating issues in client environments that use a staging site. Content in the production site was rendering absolute URLs back to staging. This also could create similar issues in applications that host multiple sites with different domains. This update is applied automatically and resolves the issue in all Telerik RTF Editors used throughout Centralpoint (editors in the client console and website form editor controls).
Admin > Properties: Select2 Integration for ListBox Controls	For Forms Management, two new beta properties (Enable FormPagedListBox as FormSelect2 and Enable FormDataListBox as FormSelect2) enable automatic rendering of FormPagedListBox and FormDataListBox as Select2 controls. When enabled, these implementations will use string columns for item text display, though some original list box properties will be ignored. Both features can be individually overridden using the UseSelect2 parameter in their respective scripts. For custom and system attributes, two similar beta properties (Enable CpPagedListBox as CpSelect2 and Enable CpDataListBox as CpSelect2) enable automatic rendering of CpPagedListBox and CpDataListBox as Select2 attributes. These implementations follow the same pattern, using string columns for item text and allowing individual override via the UseSelect2 parameter in their respective attributes. All four properties are disabled by default and can be toggled between No/Yes options.
PdfViewer CpScript	.htm and .html file extensions will generate a PDF version of the source file and the converted PDF will render through the viewer. This update is applied automatically and no console configuration changes are required.
MediaToImage CpScript	This script will now generate thumbnails for the following file formats: .msg, .htm. and .html. This update is applied automatically and no console configuration changes are required.
FormSelect2 CpScript	Leverages the Select2 jQuery plugin to enhance an HTML select element, providing advanced features like search and dynamic data loading. A corresponding CpSelect2 control has been added for use in CMS and custom attributes.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.93

Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Feature	Summary
New Aliases Keyword Lists	This keyword list gives you the ability to add new alias terms that can be aliased. Notes: Creating a keyword does not necessarily mean that term will be automatically aliased and some terms may need to be programmatically implemented.
New Data Transfer Aliases Destination	This data transfer lets you import data into the aliases module.
NLS & AI > Script Generator	A new Search Results Limit attribute has been added to the Algolia Autocomplete script.
Module Searches: Taxonomy Filter Option	When using the taxonomy query string search, results are returned based on records matching "Any" of the defined Taxonomy. A new query string variable named "taxmatch" is supported that will apply a taxonomy filter ensuring records match all Taxonomy values within the taxonomy query string. The "taxmatch" query string variable must have a value of 1 to enable the "match all" filter. An example of this is the following: ?taxonomy=a9844f99-35fc-480c-9159-37f5d12e5f25,d90e5854-f757-416d-a6dc-2674cf9c10b9&taxmatch=1

Feature	Summary
Taxonomy Pre-Import Utility.	Now collects SearchKeywords, PartialTaxonomy, and IsRegularExpression columns for Data Cleaner and automatic generation of the FullTaxonomyIds and UniqueId column
CpScript PdfViewer	Word documents that are converted to PDF through the Aspose file handler will begin rendering a bookmark "Table of Contents" panel within the PDF if a table of contents in the Word document has proper TOC formatting. This update is inherited automatically and improves the PDF by making navigation within the PDF document much more user friendly. Please note that this CpScript reuses converted PDF files to optimize website performance by leveraging an actual PDF file converted one time; instead of dynamically converting different file extensions on each request. This feature will be applied to newly generated PDF files moving forward.
Education: Ordering & Matching Validators	Comparison validators have been applied to text inputs used in Ordering & Matching question types. This prevents users from entering duplicate values which would make their answer incorrect. The range validators bound to the text inputs are now sized per the number of inputs used within the question. Previously, they always validated a range between 1 and 20. Now it will be between 1 and the number of options within the question. This update will be applied automatically when the Education module designer record is resubmitted.
CpScript FormNumericSpinner	A new attribute named "FormNumericSpinner" is supported. This script generates a form textbox and provides a user-friendly interface for entering numbers, including up and down arrows for incrementing and decrementing the value.
CpScript PdfIcon	A new attribute named "PdfPageOrientation" is supported. This sets the orientation of the downloaded PDF. Portrait is the default standard option which is taller than it is wide. Landscape is wider than it is tall.
Excel Viewer	.xlsb file extensions will be supported and render in the viewer.
Design > Dynamic Tab Display	A new attribute named "Body CSS Class" is available for the jQuery Tab Type that use the iframe content option. This sets a value in the class attribute of the body tag within the iframe and is intended to assist with applying a different UI to content rendered within the tabs. Please read the header text on the attribute for direction and an example of how it is used.
Data Sources: Gamification	Pages using a Gamification Data Source CpScript now support startDate and endDate query string filters. When these query strings are applied to the page and contain a valid date, the Gamification dataset is filtered within the date range. Please review the header text of the Date Filter attribute in Gamification records for more direction and an example.
Add HTML5 input type number support for textbox	Add Display Number Field property to textbox control. If enabled, this element creates an input field that allows the user to enter a number. This type of input field provides built-in validation to ensure that the entered value is a number, and it also provides a user-friendly interface for entering numbers, including up and down arrows for incrementing and decrementing the value.
NLS & AI	A new NLS & AI console navigation category is available containing copies of Advertising > Search Suggestions, Data Transform > Interstitials, and Design > Script Generator.

CpScript FormZipFileToDirectory	An error was reported and resolved where the method was throwing the following error: Compressed size mismatch between central header(30664) and local header(0). The issue is from a method used in a third-party library that works with .zip files and occurs when used against newer .zip files created from Windows file explorer. This component has been replaced throughout the system. This update contains minimal risk and was heavily tested in all places, but please forward issues to Oxcyon Programming if unexpected behavior occurs in any Centralpoint feature that works with a .zip file.
GenericEnhanced > Module Properties > Document Content Attributes	An issue with this feature was reported where heading tags within the Word document were being extracted as a list in HTML. This issue is caused by the heading tags within the Word document actually containing list formatting, although they still look like a heading in the Word document. A method was added to ensure list formatting is stripped from heading tags during the HTML extraction process which resolves this issue. This update will be applied automatically and no console configuration changes are required.
Column CpScript	When retrieving data from a NLS source, the SystemName of each DataCurrentInDataCurrent attribute is now stored as an individual property of the Attributes column. This allows the Column CpScript to access delimited list of GUIDs for this attribute using the standard cpsys_Attributes:AttributeSystemName syntax within the name property of the CpScript.

Tuesday, September 3, 2024

Feature	Summary
