Create a Mosaic Model Using Mosaic Studio and Import Data

Starting in Strategy (July 2026), you can create a Mosaic model directly in a dashboard. As a preview feature, you can create Mosaic schema (stand-alone schema objects).

You can create Mosaic Studio and import data from a database by selecting tables to retrieve data from the source. An intuitive visual interface makes it easy to import your data by dragging and dropping tables.

Importing data from a database requires a connection to a data source. You can Create Data Sources before you begin importing or during the import process.
