# Create a Model

Create a model from a CRM Analytics dataset or a template. Einstein Discovery thoroughly analyzes your data and generates revealing and meaningful insights for you to explore.

- **[Create a Model from a Dataset](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_create_dataset.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a model to uncover the meaningful relationships among variables in a CRM Analytics dataset. Einstein Discovery augments your analysis by quickly sifting through huge amounts of data to uncover statistically significant correlations for you to investigate further.
- **[Create a Model from a Template](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_create_template.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Quickly create a model using Einstein Discovery model templates. Each model template provides a starter implementation for a common Einstein Discovery use case. A template gives you what you need to build the app, prepare and load your data, create an initial model, deploy a model, and save predictions into your CRM Analytics dataset.
- **[Create a Model from a Lens](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_create_lens.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Quickly create a model from a CRM Analytics lens. After creating a lens to explore your data, you can easily get insights directly from the lens. Filters that are applied to the lens get persisted saving you time with model setup.
- **[Cancel Model Creation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_cancel.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can cancel model creation before Einstein finishes creating it. Canceling a model interrupts Einstein data analysis and abandons any model elements created after you clicked **Create Model**. This feature allows you to change your mind and not wait until Einstein after completes analyzing your data and generating insights.
