More detailed information is needed on the documentation for GitLab Branch Source Plugin

If one also has the GitLab Plugin, the Jenkins Configuration has two sections called GitLab.
This should be mentioned so not to confuse.

About iii. Credentials - Contains a list of credentials entries that are of type GitLab Personal Access Token. When no credential has been added it shows "-none-". User can add a credential by clicking "Add" button.

Please mention, what type of credentials is needed.
Add->Choose Jenkins Credentials Provider
Kind=GitLab API Token
How to Create A GitLab API Token. Could probably link to some GitLab documentation here.

About v. Secret Token
Where is this Advanced options that is mentioned? Is it in Jenkins, is it in GitLab?
Where do one generate this token?

I may do that.
I learned today that the Credentials for this plugin could not use "GitLab API Token", but the "GitLab Personal Access Token". Another confusion with the GitLab Plugin.
