# Configure Model

Select the goal, title, and location for your model.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)

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.

![Model Settings window, showing goal, title, and location settings](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_story_settings.png)

1. Specify the desired outcome (or _goal_) of your model.
    1. **Occurrences** performs an extensive query analysis of dataset values by calculating the number of times a value occurs in a column, including interactions with other columns. For example, the color red occurs 30% of the time in an Automobile dataset, of those rows the most frequent body type is coupe.
    2. Another option is to select an outcome variable to analyze (typically a key performance indicator), and the preferred direction (minimize or maximize) is the outcome to take. For example, your goal could be to maximize margin or to minimize costs. Einstein Discovery uses the model goal to orient its analysis and explain the insights it uncovered from the analysis.
