+Settings Form View
+------------------
+
+The settings form view is a customization of the form view. It's used to centralize all the settings
+of Odoo.
+
+This view differs from a generic form view because it has a search bar, a sidebar and accepts 3
+additional tags: ``app``, ``block`` and ``setting``.
+
+.. rst-class:: o-definition-list
+
+``app``
+  The ``app`` tag is used to declare the application on the settings view. It creates an entry with
+  its logo on the sidebar of the view. It also acts as delimiter when searching.
+
+  Syntax:
+
+  .. code-block:: xml
+
+    <app string="CRM" name="crm">
+    ...
+    </app>
+
+  Parameters:
+
+  .. rst-class:: o-definition-list
+
+  ``string``
+    The "display" name of the application.
+  ``name``
+    The technical name of the application (the name of the module).
+  ``logo`` (optional)
+    The relative path to the logo. If not set, the logo is created using the ``name`` parameter : ``/{name}/static/description/icon.png``.
+
+``block``
+  The ``block`` tag is used to declare a group of settings. This group can have a title and a description/help.
+
+  Syntax:
+
+  .. code-block:: xml
+
+    <block title="Title of group Bar">
+    ...
+    </block>
+
+  Parameters:
+
+  .. rst-class:: o-definition-list
+
+  ``title`` (optional)
+    The title of the block of settings, you can perform research on its text.
+  ``help`` (optional)
+    The description/help of the block of settings, you can perform research on its text.
+
+``setting``
+  The ``setting`` tag is used to declare the setting itself. The first field in the setting is
+  used as the main field (optional). This field is placed on the left panel (if it's a boolean field)
+  or on the top of the right panel (otherwise). The field is also used to create the setting label
+  if a ``string`` is not defined. The ``setting`` tag can also contain more elements (e.g. html),
+  all of these elements are rendered in the right panel.
+
+  Syntax:
+
+  .. code-block:: xml
+
+    <setting string="this is bar">
+        <field name="bar"/>
+        ...More elements
+    </setting>
+
+  Parameters:
+
+  .. rst-class:: o-definition-list
+
+  ``type`` (optional)
+    By default, a setting is visually separated on two panels (left and right), and is used to
+    edit a given field. By defining ``type='header'``, a special kind of setting is rendered
+    instead. This setting is used to modify the scope of the other settings. For example, on the
+    website application, this setting is used to indicate to which website the other settings
+    apply. The header setting is visually represented as a yellow banner on the top of the screen.
+  ``string`` (optional)
+    The text used as label of the setting. If it's not defined, the first field is used as label.
+  ``title`` (optional)
+    The text used as tooltip.
+  ``help`` (optional)
+    The help/description of the setting. This text is displayed just below the setting label (with classname ``text-muted``).
+  ``company_dependent`` (optional)
+    If this attribute is set to "1" an icon is displayed next to the setting label to explicit
+    that this setting is company-specific.
+  ``documentation`` (optional)
+    If this attribute is set, an icon is added next to the setting label, this icon is a link to the documentation.
+    Note that you can use relative or absolute path. The relative path is relative to ``https://www.odoo.com/documentation/<server_version>``,
+    so it's not necessary to hard-code the server version on the arch anymore.
+
+.. example::
+
+  .. code-block:: xml
+
+      <app string="CRM" name="crm">
+          <setting type="header" string="Foo">
+              <field name="foo" title="Foo?."/>
+              <button name="nameAction" type="object" string="Button"/>
+          </setting>
+          <block title="Title of group Bar">
+              <setting help="this is bar" documentation="/applications/technical/web/settings/this_is_a_test.html">
+                  <field name="bar"/>
+              </setting>
+              <setting string="This is Big BAR" company_specific="1">
+                  <field name="bar"/>
+              </setting>
+          </block>
+          <block title="Title of group Foo">
+              <setting string="Personalize setting" help="this is full personalize setting">
+                  <div>This is a different setting</div>
+              </setting>
+          </block>
+      </app>
