+===========================
+Base External Report Layout
+===========================
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+
+Context
+-------
+In vanilla Odoo, from the general settings, a many2one layout field allows you to select the layout of Qweb reports.
+It allows you to select any view, including views that are not Qweb report layouts.
+
+This field is modified when using the wizard behind 'Configure document layout'. If the user selects a view that is not a layout, then Qweb reports no longer work.
+
+In order to avoid this scenario, this module allows to hide the external report layout field
+
+Overview
+--------
+After installing this module, the field  `external_report_layout_id` is not anymore visible in the general settings view.
