# From workbook to modeling: Setting up Omni

> Intended for developers, this five-part video series will show you how to start building content and models in Omni.

To follow the steps in this guide, you'll need:

* An existing [database connection](/connect-data/setup)
* [Organization Admin](/administration/users/permissions) permissions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your first workbook analysis">
    <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022613089?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479" title="Setup & First Analysis" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

    Get started by creating a brand new [workbook](/analyze-explore) in Omni, building out your first analysis, and creating your first table join.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build a topic and create additional workbook content">
    <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022616756?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479" title="Build a Topic & Create Content" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

    Next, learn how to build your first Omni topic. Then, explore different ways to create content in workbooks - through [point and click](/analyze-explore/point-click-queries), [Excel-like formulas](/analyze-explore/calculations), [SQL](/analyze-explore/sql), and [Omni's AI](/ai/queries).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Present your work on a dashboard">
    <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022617897?badge=0\&autopause=0\&player_id=0\&app_id=58479" title="Build a Dashboard" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

    Present your analysis by building out a [dashboard](/visualize-present/dashboards) and customizing it with filters, text tiles, and more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Understand Omni's semantic modeling layer">
    <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022619162?badge=0\&autopause=0\&player_id=0\&app_id=58479" title="Semantic Model Workflow" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

    Learn about Omni's [architectural layers](/modeling), from the promotion of a workbook field to the shared model, to adding changes to a branch, to a tour of the model IDE.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Merge model changes in branches">
    <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022621069?badge=0\&autopause=0\&player_id=0\&app_id=58479" title="Semantic Model Workflow (cont.)" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

    Building on Part 4, the last step is to merge your branch changes into the shared model. You'll also learn additional tools to help you build and manage your models, such as [schema refreshes](/modeling/develop/schema-refreshes) and [model version histories](/modeling/develop/history).
  </Step>
