Native JSON support

Sigma provides full native support for the JSON data type in BigQuery connections. This enables you to process and analyze semi-structured data effectively. For details on how to use JSON, see Google documentation on Working with JSON data in GoogleSQL.

Embeds

Copy + paste in embeds

Users can now copy and paste elements in an embed.

Workbook elements

”Fill range” keyboard shortcut

Use the “fill range” keyboard shortcut to overwrite selected cells with the value in the first (top-left) cell of the range. Select a range and apply the applicable keyboard shortcut based on your operating system:

macOS⌘ + return
Windowsctrl + enter

Workbook features

Bookmarks

Bookmarks (Beta) now provide a notification when changes made (such as changing a filter’s value) for the bookmark are no longer relevant in the workbook. In other words, someone changed the base workbook such that the bookmark is now inaccurate. A modal gives the option of updating or deleting the bookmark.

Downloads

When a user downloads any resource, a status bar now appears at the bottom of the screen. This applies to embeds as well.

Bug fixes

  • We resolved an embed issue where visualizations failed to render in certain scenarios.
