Settings and Accessibility
Set it. Save it. Use it.
YouDesign Blueprints saves your preferences for your account, so themes, accessibility options, canvas grid, language, and favorites are still there next time you open the app.
Settings live inside the YouDesign Blueprints app, scoped to ServiceNow under x_inpi_ydbp. Each person has their own settings, so what you change here doesn't affect anyone else in your instance.
Open Settings
Click the Open menu icon in the top-left of the app header and select Settings. The same settings apply everywhere in YouDesign Blueprints.
Settings overview
Show tutorials
On or off
Controls whether contextual walkthroughs appear as you use the app.
Theme mode
Light, Dark
Changes the visual theme used across the application.
Grid
None, Line grid, Dot grid, Cross grid
Changes the grid style shown on the canvas.
Snap to grid
On or off
Snaps table cards to the grid as you move them.
Language
English (US), English (UK), German, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Hindi, Bengali
Changes the app interface language. Labels from ServiceNow records translate only when your ServiceNow instance has translations for them.
Precise Selection
On or off
Tightens click targets so it is easier to select the right element on a dense canvas.
Reduce Motion
On or off
Reduces or turns off animations across the app. Useful if motion makes you uncomfortable or distracts from content.
High Contrast
On or off
Increases contrast to improve readability and distinction between UI elements.
Single-Character Shortcuts
On or off
Enables the canvas zoom shortcuts +, -, and 0.
Language
Changing the language updates the YouDesign Blueprints interface (buttons, menus, and dialogs) immediately. Labels that come from ServiceNow records, like table and field names, only appear translated if your ServiceNow instance has translations for them.
Documentation and Feedback
Settings includes two help entries:
Documentation opens the published help center in a new browser tab. Use it to look something up without leaving your current blueprint.
Feedback opens a small menu with two options: report a bug or request a feature. Both open your mail client with a pre-filled message and the right subject prefix.
Report a bug: Opens your mail client with a message addressed to bugs@ins-pi.com, subject prefixed [BUG], and a template asking what you were doing, what you expected, what actually happened, and any screenshots.
Request a feature: Opens the same flow with subject prefixed [FEATURE] and a template asking what problem you want to solve, who would benefit, and any references that inspired the idea.
Both feedback emails include a diagnostic block at the bottom with your app version, page, ServiceNow instance, theme, language, browser, and timestamp. Leave it intact so support can reproduce what you were seeing.
Roles menu
On Home, your avatar menu also shows the Blueprints roles currently assigned to you.
This is useful when you want to confirm whether you are working as a Blueprint Template Editor, Blueprint Editor, Blueprint Committer, or Blueprint Viewer.
