Cognitu Navigation Redesign

This release delivers a complete redesign of the Cognitu navigation experience. The header bar, main menu, Order History, and user/account actions have been rebuilt with a modern layout, improved accessibility, and a consistent component library. All existing functionality has been preserved — nothing has been removed, only relocated and improved.

Your Questions Answered: Everything you need to know about this update.

Where has the main menu gone?
The main menu is now a side panel that opens when you click the menu icon (cog/gear icon) on the right side of the header bar. It contains all the same admin and management sections as before — Usergroup, System, Reports, Batching, Supplier, Products, and Extra.
How do I log out?
Click the user icon in the top-right of the header bar to open the profile popover, then click "Logout" at the bottom of the menu. The logout link has a door/arrow icon next to it for easy identification.
Where is Order History?
Order History is now accessed from the user profile popover. Click the user icon in the header bar, then select "Order History" or "Group Order History" from the list.
How do I switch users or switch usergroups?
Click the user icon in the header bar to open the profile popover. You will see "Switch User" and "Switch User Group" near the top of the menu. If you are currently acting as another user, the popover header will show who you are signed in as with a link to switch back.
How do I search the catalogue?
There is now a search bar in the centre of the header bar on every page. Type your search term and press the search button (or hit Enter) to search the catalogue. The search supports autocomplete suggestions as you type.
What if I can not find the navigation item I need?
When you open the main menu side panel, there is a "Filter Menu..." input at the top. Start typing a keyword (e.g. "price" or "users") and the menu will instantly hide items that don't match, making it easy to find specific menu items without scrolling.
How do I see which usergroup I'm currently in?
The bottom of the main menu side panel permanently displays your current Usergroup and current Admin Group. You can also see your username in the user profile popover in the header bar.
How do I use the new Order History filters?
On the Order History page, type your search term in the search input, then click the "Filters" button to open a popover with additional options: Status filter (All, Workflow, Processing, Complete, Cancelled), Date Range (with native date pickers and a Clear button), and Group filter. The "Show individual line items" checkbox is available as an inline option next to the filters.
Has anything been removed?
No functionality has been removed. All features from the previous navigation are still available — they have been reorganised into the header bar popovers (basket, notifications, user profile) and the main menu side panel. The only visual change is that the old horizontal dropdown "Go" menu has been replaced by these new, more accessible controls.
