+- Parameters
+  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
+  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
+  | name | string | Yes| Name of the target data item. Data items can be classified as follows:<br><ul><li>Existing data items in the database, for example:<br></li><ul><li>Brightness: 'settings.screen.brightness' <br> </li> <li>Time format: 'settings.time.format' <br> </li></ul> <li>Custom data items</li></ul>|
+
+- Return value
+  | Type| Description|

+  | string | URI of the data item.|
+
+- Example
+  ```
+   // Obtain the URI of a data item.
+   let urivar = settings.getUri('settings.screen.brightness');  
+  ```
+
+
+## settings.getValue
+
+getValue(dataAbilityHelper: DataAbilityHelper, name: string, defValue: string): string
+
+Obtains the value of a data item.
+
+- Parameters
+  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
+  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
+  | dataAbilityHelper | [DataAbilityHelper](js-apis-dataAbilityHelper.md) | Yes| **DataAbilityHelper** class.|
+  | name | string | Yes| Name of the target data item. Data items can be classified as follows:<br><ul><li>Existing data items in the database, for example:<br></li><ul><li>Brightness: 'settings.screen.brightness' <br> </li> <li>Time format: 'settings.time.format' <br> </li></ul> <li>Custom data items</li></ul>|
+  | defValue | string | Yes| Default value This parameter is user-defined. If it is not found in the database, the default value is returned.|
+
+- Return value
+  | Type| Description|
+  | -------- | -------- |
+  | string | Value of the data item.|
+
+- Example
+  ```
+  import featureAbility from '@ohos.featureAbility';
+  
+  // Obtain the value of 'settings.screen.brightness' (this data item already exists in the database).
+  let brightness = 'settings.screen.brightness';
+  let uri = settings.getUri(brightness);
+  let helper = featureAbility.acquireDataAbilityHelper(uri);
+  let value = settings.getValue(helper, brightness, '10');
+  ```
+
+
+## settings.setValue
+
+setValue(dataAbilityHelper: DataAbilityHelper, name: string, value: string): boolean
+
+Sets the value of a data item.
+If the specified data item exists in the database, the **setValue** method updates the value of the data item. If the data item does not exist in the database, the **setValue** method inserts the data item into the database.

+  | name | string | Yes| Name of the target data item. Data items can be classified as follows:<br><ul><li>Existing data items in the database, for example:<br></li><ul><li>Brightness: 'settings.screen.brightness' <br> </li> <li>Time format: 'settings.time.format' <br> </li></ul> <li>Custom data items</li></ul>|

+  let brightness = 'settings.screen.brightness';
+  let uri = settings.getUri(brightness);
+  let helper = featureAbility.acquireDataAbilityHelper(uri);
+  let ret = settings.setValue(helper, brightness, '100');
