What's new in Sigma
Admin
Set inactivity timeouts (Beta)
You can now configure inactivity timeouts to ensure users are automatically logged out after a certain length of inactivity in the product.
For more information, see Set up inactivity timeouts (Beta).
API
Use OAuth override tokens in API calls
The Sigma API now supports the use of OAuth override tokens in API calls. These tokens allow you to temporarily use the OAuth permissions of another user when making API calls.
For more information, see Use OAuth override tokens.
Data modeling
Add relationships to data models (Private beta)
Data models now support adding relationships, which define the join logic for Sigma to use to join the tables. Adding a relationship enables business users to work with related data without needing to perform ad hoc joins, which can help improve performance and reduce costs.
For details on creating relationships, including best practices, see Define relationships in data models (Beta).
For details on using related columns in workbooks, see Use related columns in a workbook (Beta).
Embeds
Use actions to trigger outbound embed iframe events
You can now configure an action to send an iframe event from your embedded content to your host application, which can then react to this event with some outcome. For example, you can use these events to add custom tracking, change the UI of your application, or trigger your own application APIs.
See Create actions that trigger embed iframe events.
Workbook elements
Paste 2,000 rows in input tables on Databricks connections
When populating data in input tables on a Databricks connection, you can now paste up to 50,000 cells at once (2,000 rows and 25 columns).
For more information, see Intro to input tables.
Workbook features
Configure actions based on user-selected values in a table or visualization
Action variables allow you to configure how your workbook actions trigger based on the values the user selected within a table or visualization. You can use action variables in any custom formula for an action, including conditions. When referencing these action variables, you can perform all of the usual functions that tables support, such as aggregations, conditions, and lookups.
Clear multiple controls with a single action
The clear control workbook action now offers the option to clear controls at four levels of granularity: a single control, all controls in a container, all controls in a page, or all controls in the workbook.
See Clear one or more control values.
Bug fixes
- Emails about failed exports now include the name of the export schedule.
- The system generated Row ID column can no longer be added to linked input tables.
