These properties are managed via theSystem Properties \[sysproperties\]table, accessible by navigating toAll \> sysproperties.list. Adjusting these properties enables customization of user experience, development workflows, and permissions relevant to your instance. Show full answer Show less ## Studio Behavior Properties * **sndevstudio.servicenowstudiobanner.enable** : Controls visibility of the banner that navigates users from App Engine Studio or legacy Studio to ServiceNow Studio. Set to **false** to hide the banner (default is **true**). * **snsns.isappsummarizationdisabled** : Disables Now Assist app summary generation when set to **true**. Not included by default; must be added manually to disable summaries. * **snudc.smallerappfilescountthreshold**: Defines the file count threshold to determine if an app is considered small or large in the file navigator. Small apps load all files at once; large apps load files partially. Thresholds differ for admins (≤2300 files) and delegated developers (≤1150 files). ## Delegated Development and Collaboration Properties These properties control the visibility of specific permissions for delegated developers: * **com.snc.dd.manageupdatesetenabled** : Enables display of the 'Manage Update Set' permission. Default is **false**, so delegated developers cannot see update sets unless enabled. * **com.snc.dd.publishtoapprepoenabled** : Controls 'Publish To App Repo' permission visibility. Default is **true**. * **com.snc.dd.publishtoappstoreenabled** : Controls 'Publish To App Store' permission visibility. Default is **true**. * **com.snc.dd.publishtoupdatesetenabled** : Controls 'Publish To Update Set' permission visibility. Default is **false**. * **com.snc.dd.upgradeappenabled** : Controls 'Upgrade App' permission visibility. Default is **true**. ## Source Code Development Properties These properties manage ServiceNow IDE and SDK usage: * **snglider.defaulttobundledsdk** : Determines whether to use the bundled SDK version with the ServiceNow IDE (**true** ) or the latest SDK version (**false**, default). * **snglider.enableide** : Enables or disables access to the ServiceNow IDE across the instance. Setting to **false** disables both the IDE and ServiceNow Studio (default is **true**). * **snglider.fluentconvertenabled** : Enables conversion of existing applications not originally created with the ServiceNow IDE/SDK to support source code development in the IDE. Default is **true**. * **snglider.git.attachment.extension.binary** : Defines a custom file extension for binary attachments in Git repositories, overriding the default *gitdata* . The custom extension must be compatible with MIME type validations and listed in **glide.attachment.extensions**. * **snglider.git.attachment.extension.text** : Defines a custom file extension for text attachments in Git repositories, overriding the default *txt*. Similar requirements as the binary extension apply. * **snglider.pinnedSdkVersion**: Specifies a particular version of the ServiceNow SDK to use when creating or converting applications in the IDE. Defaults to the latest SDK version. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers * Control user navigation and interface behavior in Studio to tailor the development environment for your teams. * Manage delegated developer permissions precisely to align with your governance and collaboration requirements. * Configure the ServiceNow IDE and SDK usage to match your development lifecycle preferences, including app conversion capabilities. * Customize Git attachment handling to ensure compatibility with your source control practices. Configure system properties to control ServiceNow Studio application behavior and delegated development deployment.
