+"""This module provide highlevel helpers to avoid uicfg boilerplate
+for most common tasks such as fields ordering, widget customization, etc.
+
+
+Here are a few helpers to customize *action box* rendering:
+
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.append_to_addmenu
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.remove_from_addmenu
+
+
+and a few other ones for *form configuration*:
+
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_fields_order
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_field
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_fields
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field_kwargs
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_inline
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_as_attr
+.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_muledit_editable
+
+The module also provides a :class:`FormConfig` base class that lets you gather
+uicfg declaration in the scope of a single class, which can sometimes
+be clearer to read than a bunch of sequential function calls.
+
+.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.FormConfig
