Audit logs now available in us-east-1 region

Organizations hosted in AWS us-east-1 are now able to access the Sigma Audit Logs connection, which records data related to user-initiated events that occur within your Sigma organization. The connection is disabled by default, but an Admin user can enable it in the Administration portal.

See Enable audit logging.

API

Swap link sources for datasets

The Swap workbook data sources endpoint (POST /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/swapSources) now includes the option to swap dataset links. When using the sourceMapping option, the columnMapping option supports specifying a link name and linked column name to swap from one dataset link to another dataset link.

For example, to change the source for a workbook from one dataset link to another, set the fromId and toId to the same dataset ID, but update the fromColumn to the name of the previous dataset link and linked column name and the toColumn to the desired dataset link and linked column:

{
    "sourceMapping": [
        {
            "fromId": "bfa59799-69c7-423d-b965-7319cbfc2ebb",
            "toId": "bfa59799-69c7-423d-b965-7319cbfc2ebb",
            "columnMapping": [
                {
                    "fromColumn": ["Link name", "Missing column name"],
                    "toColumn": ["Link name", "New column name"]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Workbook elements

Freeze columns in pivot tables

Pivot tables now support the ability to freeze or unfreeze the position of columns.

For more details, see Format column location in a table.

Workbook features

Schedule exports as an email burst (GA)

You can send a custom-filtered report to a dynamic list of recipients as a scheduled email burst. Send a workbook, workbook pages, and individual workbook elements as supported attachment types, such as PDF, Excel, or PNG files.

For more details, see Export as email burst.

Set conditional exports to alert a specific number of times (Beta)

Limit the number of conditional exports by setting the frequency of an export to send only a given number of times per day, per week, or all time.

For example, a conditional export that sends an email when there is data in a table can be set to alert once per day.

Customize chart and formatting color scales (GA)

Create custom color scales to use when formatting chart colors or conditional formatting for tables. Create a custom color scale for an organization theme, workbook theme, or for a specific data element.

For more details, see Add a custom color scale.
