What's new in Sigma

Admin

Uniquely identify SAML attributes with the Sigma namespace prefix

You can now uniquely identify your SAML attributes by using the Sigma namespace prefix (https://schema.sigmacomputing.com/2025/01/claims). This can be applied to the userRole and userGroups attributes to avoid overlap with other app configurations. For example, the userRole attribute name would look like https://schema.sigmacomputing.com/2025/01/claims/userRole.

See Configure SSO for your Sigma Organization in Single sign-on with SAML.

API

New parameters added for List workbooks endpoint

The List workbooks (GET /v2/workbooks) endpoint now supports two new optional query parameters:

• The skipPermissionCheck parameter. When set to true, allows the API client to return all workbooks in a Sigma organization, including those not shared with the requesting user. The API client must have admin privileges to use this parameter.
• The isArchived parameter. When set to true, filters the results to include only archived workbooks.

New userAttributes option for Create a connection and Update a connection endpoints

When adding a Snowflake connection with the Create a connection (POST /v2/connections) or updating one with the Update a connection (PUT /v2/connections/{connectionId}) endpoint, you can use the new userAttributes option to specify a user attribute to dynamically assign the role and the warehouse for the connection.

For more details on dynamic role and warehouse assignment with user attributes, see Configure user attributes on a Snowflake connection.

Infrastructure

Sigma now supports the AWS US East region

Sigma is now deployed in AWS US East (us-east-1). This region, located in Northern Virginia, is the largest AWS region and gives customers on the East Coast lower latency and enhanced performance when connecting to Sigma.

Workbook elements

Renaming visualization to chart

As part of ongoing improvements to UI terminology, references to "visualization" are now consistently updated to "chart".

Workbook features

EN-AU is now a supported locale

Sigma now supports Australian English localization, including date format and currency. You can preview a workbook or set custom translations with EN-AU.

See Manage workbook localization and Manage organization translation files.

Export raw data formats from bookmarks

Export data from a bookmark to a CSV, Excel, or JSON-formatted file.

Bug fixes

• The Refresh element action now successfully refreshes data for elements on hidden pages.
• The List columns for a workbook element endpoint (GET /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/elements/{elementId}/columns) now correctly returns pagination data in the nextPage portion of the response.
• Scheduled exports that email team members now send to the members of the team when the export is sent, instead of the members of the team when the schedule is added.
