# User settings
`ktem` allows developers to extend the index and the reasoning pipeline. In
many cases, these components can have settings that should be modified by
users at run-time, (e.g. `topk`, `chunksize`...). These are the user settings.
`ktem` allows developers to declare such user settings in their code. Once
declared, `ktem` will render them in a Settings page.
There are 2 places that `ktem` looks for declared user settings. You can
refer to the respective pages.
- In the index.
- In the reasoning pipeline.
## Syntax of a settings
A collection of settings is a dictionary of type `dict[str, dict]`, where the
key is a setting id, and the value is the description of the setting.
```python
settings = {
"topk": {
"name": "Top-k chunks",
"value": 10,
"component": "number",
},
"lang": {
"name": "Languages",
"value": "en",
"component": "dropdown",
"choices": [("en", "English"), ("cn", "Chinese")],
}
}
```
Each setting description must have:
- name: the human-understandable name of the settings.
- value: the default value of the settings.
- component: the UI component to render such setting on the UI. Available:
- "text": single-value
- "number": single-value
- "checkbox": single-value
- "dropdown": choices
- "radio": choices
- "checkboxgroup": choices
- choices: the list of choices, if the component type allows.
