Create Configuration Screen for Office 365 Outlook Add-In

Question

I am working on creating a Office 365 Add-In that will work for both Outlook for Desktop and the Web version. I want a way to let users store some settings that will be then used by the ADD-IN so that the ADD-In can pass that to the remote service.

1. When someone installs this add-in, how can I create a UI for the user to enter some details like a company number and username.

2. How can I use above settings in JavaScript of my Add-In?
