# Create a Model from a Dataset

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.

### Required Editions

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.

There are three ways in which to launch the **Create Model** command:

- From the **Create** menu. When prompted, choose **Create from Dataset**.
- While viewing a lens.
- From the dataset dropdown, as described in step 1 that follows.

Note You cannot create models from live datasets, which are described in [Explore Data Directly in Snowflake](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_explorer_direct_data_snowflake.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After you complete setup, CRM Analytics Direct Data for Snowflake lets you run queries on the dataset associated with the connection in real time. You can also build dashboard charts and tables based on the queries you run on Snowflake data.").

1. **[Select a Dataset](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_setup_dataset.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Select the CRM Analytics dataset that contains the data you want to analyze.
2. **[Configure Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_setup_start.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Select the goal, title, and location for your model.
3. **[Select Model Options](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_setup_options.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Choose how you want to select the fields in your dataset to analyze. Einstein can select the fields for you automatically, or you can select and configure them manually.
4. **[Select Data Options](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_setup_data.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Manually select and configure the variables in your dataset for Einstein to analyze and use to build a predictive model.
5. **[Analyze Data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_setup_analyze.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Einstein Discovery prepares your model, analyzes your data, and displays its progress along the way.
