It’s time to update MyCalyx®! This evening, beginning at 5:30pm PST, MyCalyx will be unavailable to administrators for approximately 3 hours.
This downtime won’t affect the normal operations of Point but administrators will not be able to make changes or push updates to users.
That means most of you won’t even notice until tomorrow when you see changes to the way your MyCalyx management page looks.
Here’s a quick peek into what you might see::
- “Manage users” is now “Manage Point Installations”
- The Getting Started button is now easier to find
- Administrators can see when a Point user doesn’t update to the assigned version
- A new Digital Key button will appear for PointCentral admins
If you have any questions regarding this update, you may contact our Customer Support Group at 800-342-2599 during our regular office hours or email support@calyxsoftware.com.

We all want the latest and greatest software, right? It’s no different when it comes to Internet Explorer. The last release is out and it’s all the rage. Not everybody can download it, though, because it doesn’t work the older operating systems (i.e. XP).
If you’re using Microsoft Vista or 7, this article is for you.
MyCalyx and IE9 don’t always get along. So if the MyCalyx prerequisite check page loops after restarting the computer, you’ll know instantly that your initial compatibility setting in Internet Explorer needs attention.
It’s an easy fix.
- Close all web pages
- Click the Install Point link from the installation e-mail that you have received.
- From the Prerequisite page, click the compatibility icon on the menu bar. (The compatibility icon is the page break icon that is to the right of the address bar).
- Close the web pages and click Install Point from your MyCalyx installation e-mail.
That’s all it should take! If you’d like screen shots or additional details or alternatives, visit the Knowledge Base article #0353.

MyCalyx allows you to set up installation groups to facilitate Point installation on both network environments and the PointCentral server environment. These installation settings work by configuring the Point installation on the client machine to access data files and templates from either a network location or the PointCentral server.
To create an installation setting, log into Mycalyx.com and click Manage Users, then Installation Settings. You’ll want to select “Create New Settings” from the dropdown list. Enter a name into the Name field that best describes this installation setting.
For network installations:
- In the Templates Directory Path, enter the path to the shared pnttempl folder.
(For example: \\Server\Point_Data\Pnttempl or H:\Pnttempl)
- In the Data Folder Path, enter the path to the shared data folder and then click the plus(+) symbol.
(For example: \\Server\Point_Data\Pntdata or H:\pntdata)
- Repeat step 7 for all data folders which you are connecting to the installation setting.
- Leave the PointCentral section blank.
- Click Save.
For PointCentral installations:
- For PointCentral, the Templates Directory Path and Data Folder Path should be left blank.
- In the PointCentral section enter the PointCentral service URL and security key. (For example, mypdsserver.calyxpds.com/service)
- Click Save
For both: When the installation setting is saved, you can assign it to a new or existing user. The user will receive an e-mail to install Point from MyCalyx.
For screen shots and optional steps for both types of installations, visit Knowledge Base Article # 0688.

Did you know that when we push a Point update to your MyCalyx account, you have total control over deployment?
Due to the nature of our compliance updates, we often recommend immediate roll-outs. However, if you’re in the middle of training your staff or you’d rather schedule it for a more convenient time of the month, you most certainly can! You might even choose to update just one individual or test a small group before you update everybody at once.
It’s your business and you can manage it your way. MyCalyx offers that flexibility.
Stability, control, and flexibility. It’s what you need; it’s what you’ve asked for.
For questions regarding MyCalyx, visit MyCalyx support here or call 800-342-2599 for assistance.
