This guide walks you through signing in, connecting a database, writing your first query, and building a board.

​
1. Sign in

Mora is invite-only. You will receive an email invitation with a link to join your organization. Click the link and either:
  • Continue with Google — sign in with your Google account.
  • Email and password — create an account with your email and a password.
If you have not received an invitation, ask your organization’s admin to send one from Settings → Members.

​
2. Create or join an organization

If the invitation links you to an existing organization, you will land in it after signing in. If you need to create a new organization:
  1. You will be redirected to the Create organization screen after your first sign-in.
  2. Enter a name and slug for your organization.
  3. Click Create.

​
3. Add a datasource

A datasource is a connection to your SQL database or warehouse.
  1. Open Settings → Datasources → New.
  2. Pick your database type (e.g. PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery).
  3. Fill in the credentials — host, port, user, password, etc.
  4. Click Test connection to verify, then Create.
See Datasources for detailed setup guides per database.

​
4. Write your first dataset

A dataset is a saved SQL query that runs against a datasource.
  1. Navigate to Datasets in the sidebar and click New dataset.
  2. Select the datasource you just created.
  3. Write a SQL query in the editor — for example:
SELECT date, COUNT(*) AS total_orders
FROM orders
GROUP BY date
ORDER BY date DESC
LIMIT 100
  1. Press Cmd+Enter (or click Run) to preview results.
  2. Press Cmd+S to save and publish the dataset.

​
5. Build a board

Boards are dashboards made up of charts (called blocks).
  1. Navigate to Boards in the sidebar and click New board.
  2. Give your board a name.
  3. Click the + button to add a block.
  4. Select the dataset you just created and choose a display type — Table, Graph, or Stats.
  5. Configure axes, chart type, and any Rift transformations.
  6. Drag and resize the block on the grid to arrange your layout.

​
6. Ask the AI

Open the chat panel with Cmd+/ and try a natural-language request:
“Show me a line chart of total orders by date”
The AI understands your schema, can write SQL, create datasets, and build charts on your behalf.
