Settings
Regulatory Snapshot deliberately has no settings page. The handful of things you can configure live where you use them — the header chrome for account, language, and theme; the relevant panel for everything else — and the app remembers them per account. This page is the map of what is configurable, where it lives, and what persists.
| Setting | Where | Persists |
|---|---|---|
| Account (profile, sign-out) | Header ▸ account button | Your account |
| Interface & output language | Header ▸ language menu | Your account |
| Light / dark theme | Header ▸ theme toggle | Your account |
| Scan configuration | The order form | Carried forward from your last scan |
| Expedite (artefact generation) | Studio ▸ Advanced | Your account |
| Image-generation service | Studio ▸ Provider control | Your account |
| Scan rota & run emails | Scheduled scans | Per schedule |
Account
The account button at the right of the header opens your account menu: manage your profile and sign-in details, and sign out. Your account is what ties everything together — snapshots, generated artefacts, schedules, and the standing preferences below follow you across devices.
Language
The language menu in the header switches the interface and dashboard between seven languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese. Switching to a non-English language translates the loaded scan’s narrative (a translation pass with a locked glossary keeps regulatory terms consistent), and Studio artefacts follow the dashboard language where the artefact supports it.
The scan order form has its own Output language selector in section 05 — that one sets the language a new scan is produced in. The header menu is for reading; section 05 is for commissioning.
Theme
The theme toggle in the header flips between the light and dark guises. It is cosmetic only — nothing about scans or artefacts changes with it. Like the language, your choice is remembered with your account and follows you across devices.
Scan defaults
The order form itself is the memory for scan configuration: every setting persists from your last scan — entity types, jurisdictions, areas, horizon, engine, verification, language, run lane. The header of the form tells you which scan the configuration was carried from, and Reset to defaults clears the scan shape (who/where/what/when) back to an empty form without touching the engine choice.
Studio standing preferences
Two Studio controls are sticky preferences saved to your account:
- Expedite — found under Advanced on each output. Where a route has a batch lane, Expedite flips generation to real time (the UI notes ~double the cost). Once on, it stays on for future generations until you turn it off.
- Image-generation service — the Provider control shown for Detailed tearsheets and Custom infographics. Your pick becomes the standing renderer for those artefacts.
Delivery emails
Two places, two different emails:
- Batch scans — the order form’s batch lane offers an optional “Email me when it’s ready” for that one run.
- Scheduled scans — each schedule has its own “Email when a run completes” toggle; batch runs deliver by email on completion. See Scheduled scans.
Pitfall — preferences belong to the account, not the snapshot. If a shared machine shows a different language, theme or pre-filled order form, a different account is signed in — check the account button before concluding the data changed. Two people can load the same snapshot and see it dressed quite differently while reading exactly the same content.
Tip — if an output or control seems to be missing in Studio, it may be administered off for your workspace (“Disabled by administrator”). Ask your workspace administrator rather than hunting for a hidden setting. The same goes for your account’s budget cap: scans and artefacts draw on one spending pool set by your administrator — there is no self-service control for it here.
Where next
- Your first scan — the order form, section by section.
- Studio — where the artefact preferences live.
- Scheduled scans — rota and delivery configuration.
