A model is a representation of the business data of an organization or business segment. The Modeler of SAP Analytics Cloud can be used to create, maintain, and load data into models.
When using a live data connection, the main part of the modeling is already done in the data source. So in SAP Analytics Cloud very little steps are needed.
For more information on models in SAP Analytics Cloud, please have a look at the help documentation: https://help.sap.com/doc/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/release/en-US/c10af00a90cd43b6894f6767a47dff17.html
