1. Navigate to **CRM Analytics Studio**.
2. Click **Create**, then select **App**.
3. Select **Analytics for Communications - Consumer**, then click **Continue**.
4. Take a quick look at the preview page, then click **Continue** to open the configuration wizard.
5. To create an app or use settings from an existing app, make a selection, and click **Continue**.
6. Analytics performs a compatibility check of your Salesforce org’s data. If it uncovers any issues, you see error messages with instructions on how to address them. Fix the issues, and try app creation again. If Analytics completes the check successfully, click **Looks good, next**.
7. The next page of the wizard asks you to select the dataset that has the payment and usage data.

    Note If you select an incorrect dataset and proceed with the app creation, you don’t see any payment and usage-related metrics in your dashboards.
8. Click **Looks good, next**.
9. Name your app, then click **Create**.

View the status of the app creation on the next screen. The process takes a minute or two. After it’s complete, refresh the page to see your app.
