What's new in Sigma

Admin

Authenticate Databricks connections with OAuth (GA)

You can now connect to Databricks using OAuth and inherit all security policies from Databricks. Databricks connections authenticated with OAuth allow your users to read data and use write-back features like input tables, warehouse views, materializations, and CSV uploads with their own individual credentials instead of a service account.
See Configure OAuth with Databricks .

API

New endpoint to create a user attribute

The following endpoint to create a user attribute is now available:

• Create a user attribute (POST /v2/user-attributes)

Workbook elements

Input tables now supported on Amazon Redshift connections (Beta)

Input tables are now compatible with Amazon Redshift connections. These dynamic workbook elements support structured data entry that allows you to integrate new data points into your analysis and augment existing data.

For more information about input tables and how to use them, see the following documentation:

• Intro to input tables
• Create new input tables
• Edit existing input table columns
• Configure data governance options in input tables

Organize workbook layouts with containers (GA)

You can add containers to your workbook pages to organize elements on the canvas and visually group elements together. With containers, you can more easily manage layouts and style elements as a group.

See Organize workbook layouts with containers.
