What's new in Sigma

Admin

User-friendly names for cloud platforms in the Administration portal

Friendly names are now used for cloud platforms in the Administration portal. To view your cloud platform, go to Administration > Account > General Settings, then locate the Site section. The Cloud field identifies the platform hosting your organization.

For more information, see Supported regions, data platforms, and features.

API request URLs now visible in the Administration portal

You can now view the base URL required for authenticating to the Sigma REST API in the Administration portal. Go to Administration > Developer Access. For more information, see Get started with the Sigma REST API.

API

New option for Create API credentials endpoint

The Create API credentials (POST /v2/credentials) endpoint includes a new scopes option to allow you to create embed credentials.

• Set scopes to embed to create credentials for embedding Sigma.
• Set scopes to api to create credentials for interacting with the Sigma REST API.

New option for the Create a member API endpoint

When creating a member using the API, choose whether to send an invitation email to a non-embed user. The Create a member (POST /v2/members) endpoint now includes the sendInvite query parameter.

Data modeling

Improved management of data model source visibility

Instead of managing the visibility of an element in a data model with a on the element, now you manage the visibility of a table as a source from the Modeling tab.

For more details, see Enable or disable an element as a data source.

Workbook features

Customize "No Data" text for data elements

For data elements that display "No Data" when no data is returned, you can now customize the text that is shown. For more details, see Customize no data text.

Highlight non-breaking space characters in SQL element

The Custom SQL element now highlights non-breaking space ( ) characters that might be present in SQL queries. Non-breaking space characters can prevent SQL statements from running successfully.

Bug fixes

• Automatic team assignments based on the SAML userGroups attribute now works for all teams, public or private. Previously, it only worked for public teams or users with the Admin userRole.
• When a JWT embed URL is missing a nonce value, the emitted error is now more specific.
• For a properly configured stored procedure action, running the action no longer results in intermittent "Invalid stored procedure" errors, such as "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parameters')".
• Element menus in workbook templates no longer include the option to create warehouse views, as warehouse views aren’t supported for template elements.
• Previously, Sigma prevented editing SQL in a SQL element below a certain size. Now, attempts to edit SQL in a small SQL element opens the maximized view of the element with the SQL tab active so that you can edit it without changing the workbook layout. After editing, you can minimize the view to return to the full workbook layout.
