The `forms/` folder in Optimizely Connect Platform (OCP) applications contains settings and content files where you define how settings forms display and function for users.

## `settings.yml`

The `settings.yml` file defines the structure of the form that an end-user sees when configuring your app.

### Best practices

Items to incorporate in your settings include the following:

- Collection of authentication information.
- Configuration of logic (for example, which data to import).
- Starting a historical bulk import.
