# Omni
> Modern business intelligence platform for creating interactive dashboards and data visualizations. It integrates with MotherDuck for dashboards, semantic models, and embedded analytics workflows.
## How it works with MotherDuck

Omni connects to MotherDuck as a database connection for modeling, dashboards, AI-assisted exploration, and embedded analytics.

## Prerequisites

- Organization Admin permissions in Omni.
- A MotherDuck database available on MotherDuck v0.10.2 or later.
- A MotherDuck Read/Write token for the Omni connection.

## Setup

1. In MotherDuck, create a Read/Write token for Omni and copy it before closing the dialog.
2. Optional: create a dedicated schema for Omni table uploads if users need to upload CSVs and join them to modeled data.
3. In Omni, open **Settings** > **Connections**.
4. Select **MotherDuck**.
5. Paste the MotherDuck token and complete the connection form.
6. Create the connection.

## Authentication and configuration

- Use a dedicated token for the Omni connection.
- Configure schema filters to limit what Omni imports into its model.
- Use a separate upload schema if Omni users will upload files. Do not reuse that schema for modeled tables.
- Review timezone settings during setup so dashboard results match your reporting conventions.

## Important notes

- Omni recommends a Read/Write token because Omni may need to support table uploads and modeling workflows.
- Table uploads are optional. If you do not use them, you can keep the connection focused on querying existing MotherDuck tables.

## Use cases

- Generate an Omni model from MotherDuck schemas.
- Build BI dashboards and topics on top of MotherDuck.
- Combine user-uploaded files with governed MotherDuck data in Omni.
