Creating semantic views¶

You can create a semantic view visually in Snowsight, by writing code (SQL or YAML), or by importing a model you already maintain. Use this page to choose an approach; each option links to detailed instructions.

Create in Snowsight¶

Build a semantic view in Snowsight with the AI-assisted Semantic View Autopilot, or by uploading a YAML specification. See Creating with Snowsight.

• Import a Power BI semantic model. See Power BI ingestion feature support.

Create with code¶

Define semantic views as code for version control and automated deployment:

• Use DDL (SQL). See Using SQL commands to create and manage semantic views.
• Use YAML. See YAML specification for semantic views.
• Decide which to use. See YAML vs DDL authoring for semantic views.

Migrate an existing model¶

Move from the legacy stage-based semantic models to native semantic views. See Migrating from the legacy stage API to semantic views.
