# Terminology * **Application**: A software tool your team already uses (like your CAD tool, project management software, or inventory management system) that you want to connect to Violet * **Connection**: The set of setup information that tells Violet how to reach your application, such as the web address, username, and password so Violet can log in and access the data at that location * **Integration**: The specific instructions for what data Violet should grab from that connection and how often, such as "get all purchase orders every hour" or "only fetch released parts once a day" * **Fetch:** Process to move data from an application into Violet * **Sync:** Process to align data between two applications, fetching data into Violet and pushing it to the subsequent application. Think of it like setting up your email on your phone: the *application* is Gmail, the *connection* is entering your Gmail address and password, and the *integration* is choosing how often to check for new messages. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
