+Base Dynamic List
+=================
+
+Very often during an Odoo implementation, we need to add selection fields on a native objet, and we don't want to have a hard-coded selection list (fields.Selection), but a selection list that can be changed by users (Many2one field). For that, the developper needs to add a new object (with just a 'name' and 'sequence' field) with a form/tree view. The goal of this module is to speed-up this process by defining a dynamic list object that already has all the required views.
+
+This module provides several ready-to-go objects:
+
+* simple list : fields *name*, *sequence* and *active*
+* translatable list : fields *name* with translate=True, *sequence* and *active*
+* code list : fields *code* (unique), *name*, *sequence* and *active*
+* translatable code list : fields *code* (unique), *name* with translate=True, *sequence* and *active*
+
+These objects are readable by the employee group. The system group has full rights on it.
+
+To use it, you need to do 2 or 3 things :
+
+1) Add an entry in the domain field and the object you selected:
+
+domain = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('risk.type', "Risk Type")])
+
+2) Add the many2one field on your object:
+
+risk_type_id = fields.Many2one(
+    'dynamic.list', string="Risk Type",
+    ondelete='restrict', domain=[('domain', '=', 'risk.type')])
+
+
+3) Optionally, you can add a dedicated action and a menu entry (otherwize, you can use the generic menu entry under *Settings > Technical > Dynamic Lists*:
+
+<record id="dynamic_list_risk_type_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
+    <field name="name">Risk Type</field>
+    <field name="res_model">dynamic.list</field>
+    <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
+    <field name="domain">[('domain', '=', 'risk.type')]</field>
+    <field name="context">{'default_domain': 'risk.type'}</field>
+</record>
+
+<menuitem id="dynamic_list_risk_type_menu" action="dynamic_list_risk_type_action"
+parent="parent_menu_xmlid"/>
+
+Limitation: when you want to have different access rights on these lists depending on the source object, you should prefer to use dedicated objects.
