Tabbed containers (GA)

Sigma now supports tabbed container elements. Add a tabbed container to your workbook pages when you want to offer multiple sets of content in the same section of your workbook canvas. A tabbed container has multiple tabs at the top of the container, which can either be visible or hidden for end users. By placing content on different tabs and configuring logic about which tab should display, you can allow users to experience different views in the same space without scrolling or navigating elsewhere. See Use tabbed containers to organize workbook content.

Data apps

Option to remove control selections with actions

In addition to replacing and adding control value selections, the Set a control value action now supports the ability to remove selections. When you configure separate Set control value actions using Add to existing selection and the new Remove from existing selection option, you can enable users to easily add and remove values from filter controls.

For information about creating a solution like the example above, see How to create a click to add & remove action in Sigma Community.

Admin

Improved usage dashboards

Usage dashboards have been improved to provide better performance and easier navigation. To view insights into how your organization uses Sigma and data on your queries, embeds, materializations, and more, go to Administration > Usage. You can also now create and save custom views of your usage dashboards, which allows you to customize the appearance, layout, sorting, and filters of your existing dashboards, or even create new ones of your own.

For more information, see Usage dashboard overview. Outdated documentation about specific usage dashboards has been removed.

Manage upgrade requests in the Administration portal (GA)

See Respond to account upgrade requests.

No email notifications for embed user account type changes

Email notifications are no longer sent to embed users when an admin makes changes to those users’ account type.

Data modeling

Materialization for data models (GA)

Scheduling materialization for elements in data models is now generally available. For more details, see About materialization and Schedule materialization for a data model or workbook.

Materialization support for version-tagged data models (GA)

Schedule materialization for each tagged version of a data model. If the published version already has a materialization schedule for one or more elements, you can choose to reuse the same schedule for the tagged version.

When you promote a tag to a new version of the data model, such as moving a tag from an older version of the data model to the latest published version, a new materialization run is started. While the materialization runs for the newly tagged version, the materialized data for the previously tagged version of the data model is used.

For more details, see Schedule materialization for a version-tagged data model.

Improved data model overview

See the status of elements in your data model in the model overview panel visible when you open a data model for editing but have not yet selected any elements. Elements enabled as a source show with a and elements disabled as a source show with a .

Embeds

Performance

Input table error handling

The following changes to input tables have been implemented to improve data integrity and prevent unexpected data loss:

• Input table edits that are unsuccessful due to configuration or availability issues in the connection or data platform (which must be resolved by the customer) are now treated as fatal errors and will no longer be retried.
• When Sigma detects a configuration or availability issue in the connection or data platform, it blocks edits to relevant input tables and displays an “Unable to edit” message directly on the input table elements until the configuration issue is resolved.
• Sigma sends admins an email alert that identifies the misconfigured or unavailable connection, displays the error message, and provides troubleshooting guidance.

Workbook features

Export to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint (Beta)

API request URLs now visible in the Administration portal

You can now view the base URL required for authenticating to the Sigma REST API in the Administration portal. Go to Administration > Developer Access. For more information, see Get started with the Sigma REST API.

API

New option for Create API credentials endpoint

The Create API credentials (POST /v2/credentials) endpoint includes a new scopes option to allow you to create embed credentials.

• Set scopes to embed to create credentials for embedding Sigma.
• Set scopes to api to create credentials for interacting with the Sigma REST API.

New option for the Create a member API endpoint

When creating a member using the API, choose whether to send an invitation email to a non-embed user. The Create a member (POST /v2/members) endpoint now includes the sendInvite query parameter.

Data modeling

Instead of managing the visibility of an element in a data model with a on the element, now you manage the visibility of a table as a source from the Modeling tab.

For more details, see Enable or disable an element as a data source.

Workbook features

Customize "No Data" text for data elements

For data elements that display "No Data" when no data is returned, you can now customize the text that is shown. For more details, see Customize no data text.

Highlight non-breaking space characters in SQL element

The Custom SQL element now highlights non-breaking space ( ) characters that might be present in SQL queries. Non-breaking space characters can prevent SQL statements from running successfully.

Bug fixes

• Automatic team assignments based on the SAML userGroups attribute now works for all teams, public or private. Previously, it only worked for public teams or users with the Admin userRole.
• When a JWT embed URL is missing a nonce value, the emitted error is now more specific.
• For a properly configured stored procedure action, running the action no longer results in intermittent "Invalid stored procedure" errors, such as "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parameters')".
• Element menus in workbook templates no longer include the option to create warehouse views, as warehouse views aren’t supported for template elements.
• Previously, Sigma prevented editing SQL in a SQL element below a certain size. Now, attempts to edit SQL in a small SQL element opens the maximized view of the element with the SQL tab active so that you can edit it without changing the workbook layout. After editing, you can minimize the view to return to the full workbook layout.

Data apps

Column order enforced when dynamically moving columns

When you use a multi-select list control to dynamically move columns into and out of groupings or properties (via the Move columns action), the column order in the table now matches the order of the values defined in the control.

Formula support in image URL

When configuring an image element, you can enter dynamic text in the Image URL field to source the URL from a formula. For example, Lookup([Team/Profile Image URL], CurrentUserEmail(), [Team/Email]) references the Profile Image URL column in an existing Teams table to dynamically display profile images based on the current user.

Bug fixes

• Sigma now uses improved logic for presenting the initial workbook page from a URL with the :nodeId parameter when the page includes conditional visibility rules. If the user cannot view the page, the first visible page is shown.
• Sigma did not support workbook deletion for JWT-signed secure embeds. Now a user can delete a workbook from the menu and get redirected to an error page with the document browser to navigate to another workbook.
• For JWT-signed embeds, errors are now sent when the JWT token cannot be parsed and when the current user is not invited to the workbook they are attempting to access.
