=== `ENRICH`
**Syntax**
[source,txt]
----
ENRICH policy [ON match_field] [WITH [new_name1 = ]field1, [new_name2 = ]field2, ...]
----
*Parameters*
`policy`::
The name of the enrich policy. You need to <<esql-set-up-enrich-policy,create>>
and <<esql-execute-enrich-policy,execute>> the enrich policy first.
`ON match_field`::
The match field. `ENRICH` uses its value to look for records in the enrich
index. If not specified, the match will be performed on the column with the same
name as the `match_field` defined in the <<esql-enrich-policy,enrich policy>>.
`WITH fieldX`::
The enrich fields from the enrich index that are added to the result as new
columns. If a column with the same name as the enrich field already exists, the
existing column will be replaced by the new column. If not specified, each of
the enrich fields defined in the policy is added
`new_nameX =`::
Enables you to change the name of the column that's added for each of the enrich
fields. Defaults to the enrich field name.
*Description*
`ENRICH` enables you to add data from existing indices as new columns using an
enrich policy. Refer to <<esql-enrich-data>> for information about setting up a
policy.

TIP: Before you can use `ENRICH`, you need to <<esql-set-up-enrich-policy,create
and execute an enrich policy>>.
*Examples*
// tag::examples[]
The following example uses the `languages_policy` enrich policy to add a new
column for each enrich field defined in the policy. The match is performed using
the `match_field` defined in the <<esql-enrich-policy,enrich policy>> and
requires that the input table has a column with the same name (`language_code`
in this example). `ENRICH` will look for records in the
<<esql-enrich-index,enrich index>> based on the match field value.

To use a column with a different name than the `match_field` defined in the
policy as the match field, use `ON <column-name>`:

By default, each of the enrich fields defined in the policy is added as a
column. To explicitly select the enrich fields that are added, use
`WITH <field1>, <field2>...`:

----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/docs-IT_tests_only.csv-spec[tag=enrich_with-result]
|===
You can rename the columns that are added using `WITH new_name=<field1>`:
[source.merge.styled,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/docs-IT_tests_only.csv-spec[tag=enrich_rename]
----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/docs-IT_tests_only.csv-spec[tag=enrich_rename-result]
|===
In case of name collisions, the newly created columns will override existing
columns.
