Create an Empty Semantic Model

Create an empty semantic model when you want to choose and import table definitions and manually build each semantic model layer and its objects.

Note:

You must have BI Data Model Author permissions to access and use Semantic Modeler. If you go to the Home page, click Create, and don't see the Semantic Modeler option, then ask your administrator to assign the BI Data Model Author permissions to you.
When you create an empty semantic model, the Semantic Modeler editor opens and an empty database is displayed in the Physical Layer tab. The Connections tab is populated with the database connections made available for semantic models.
  1. On the Home page, click Create and then click Semantic Model.
  2. In Create Semantic Model enter a name for the semantic model. Click Create.
  3. In the Create Semantic Model options page, click Start with an Empty Model.
