# Creating a map from your data

To create a map from your data, select a connection and click on a specific object (database/project(s), schemas/datasets and tables) from the collapsible tree or from the folder view.

Once your table or tileset is selected, you can explore a preview of the map and the details of the specific table or tileset. You can create a map by clicking on the *Create map* button on the top. This will open the table/tileset as a layer on a CARTO Builder map.
