Converting Worksheets to Models

This article describes how you convert Worksheets to Models in ThoughtSpot. You can convert a single Worksheet to a Model immediately, or convert all of your Worksheets to Models when your ThoughtSpot instance is upgraded to the next release version.

Converting a single Worksheet to a Model

Use this option to manually convert a single Worksheet to a Model in ThoughtSpot.

To convert a single Worksheet to a Model, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Data workspace.

  2. Open the Worksheet that you want to convert.

  3. Click the More menu More menu icon image in the upper-right corner above your Worksheet, and click Convert to Model.

  4. In the pop-up confirmation window, click Convert and Download TML.

    We provide the downloaded TML as a backup in case you see any issues you want to change once the Model is created.

    Your new Model should be ready immediately for use with all dependents like Liveboards, Answers, and more.

    • If validation is successful, click the status slider to set the feature to Model conversion enabled Enabled and click Save.

    • If validation is NOT successful, click Cancel and contact ThoughtSpot Support immediately for assistance.
