1. From App Launcher, select **Data Cloud**.
2. Click **Data Lake Objects** > **New**.
3. From the New Data Lake Object menu, select **Create from a Data Kit**, and click **Next**.
4. From your data kit, select one DLO, and click **Next**.
5. From the Select Connection dropdown list, select a connection. Data 360 auto-populates the source based on the connection that you select.
6. In the Directory field, point to a specific folder or an entire directory in your blob store. All folders and subfolders in a directory are included. Optionally, use wildcard characters to specify a file name pattern for multiple files.
7. To add more directories, click **More Files**. You can include up to 5 directories.
8. Click **Next**.
9. Add an Object Name and an Object API Name for the UDLO. See Data Lake Object Naming Standards.
10. From the Data Space dropdown list, select a data space in which to create the new unstructured data model object (UDMO) or a data space from which to select an existing UDMO.
11. Map the UDLO to a UDMO.
    - To create a new UDMO, click **New.**
    - To use an existing UDMO, click **Existing**, and select a UDMO from the list.
12. Optionally, leave the checkbox selected to create a search index configuration for the UDMO using system defaults that automatically selects text fields and a chunking strategy for each field.
    
    You can deselect the checkbox and create a search index configuration later if you choose not to do so now.
13. Click **Next**, or if you created a search index configuration, review the details, and save your work.
