Connect for ArcGIS allows you to create relationships between features held in your ArcGIS with records stored in your other business systems. A [wide range of different connectors](https://help.cartinuum.com/space/GC1/4172546127/Data+Source+Catalogue) is available, including the SQL Query Reader which is used to fetch data from databases, such as MS SQL Server or Postgres. 

Connect for ArcGIS works with both ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online, and has widgets for use in ArcGIS Experience Builder and ArcGIS Web AppBuilder. 

The video below steps through the process of configuring Connect for ArcGIS and deploying the widget into an Experience Builder application. In the video you see the following steps: –

- Configuring a Data Source – defines how Connect for ArcGIS will open up a connection to your database. 

- Adding a Layer Link – the relationship between a feature on your web map with records in your database. 

- Building a Web AppBuilder application – add the Connect for ArcGIS widget to your application instantly fetch data from your database.
