Option to remove control selections with actions

In addition to replacing and adding control value selections, the Set a control value action now supports the ability to remove selections. When you configure separate Set control value actions using Add to existing selection and the new Remove from existing selection option, you can enable users to easily add and remove values from filter controls.

For information about creating a solution like the example above, see How to create a click to add & remove action in Sigma Community.

Workbook features

Dynamic text for embed element URLs

Embed elements accept dynamic text in the URL field. You can now press = while editing the URL field to open the formula bar and configure a dynamic entry. This can be used to make embed contents responsive to control values, as well as changes to other workbook elements.

Number input control operators

Configure a number input control to filter the targeted data differently. You can now choose other filter operators besides the default of = (equal to) to show data that is greater than or equal to (>=) or less than or equal to (<=) the inputted number value.
