# Set Up an SKP System Datastore as a Construct Data Source

SQL Server datastores in the Syniti Knowledge Platform (SKP) can be associated with a data source in Construct. This setup allows the pages within a WebApp that is connected to the specified data source to use the datastore connection from the system. With this linkage, users enter the connection information in the SKP instead of in Construct.

Setting up an SKP system datastore as a Construct data source has a few advantages:

- The datastore connection information can be utilized by multiple modules.
- There is one centralized location to enter connection information.

To set up a datastore of an system as a Construct data source:

1. Log in to the SKP.
2. [Create a system](/v1/docs/systems).
3. Create a [datastore](/v1/docs/datastores#create-a-datastore) with a **SQL Server** connection type and the Usage options must include **Construct**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> If an existing connection is edited clear the cache by clicking the Clear Cache button on the [*Parameters*](/v1/docs/parameters-1) page in Construct.
4. Access **Construct**.
5. Select **Admin > Data Sources** in the *Navigation* menu.
6. [Register a data source](/v1/docs/register-a-data-source) using the newly created datastore.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The Datastore list will display only those Datastores that use Connections with the usage type set to Construct.
