What's new in Sigma

API

New email option for the List members endpoint

The List members (GET /v2/members) endpoint includes a new option to filter the list of users by email address. Use this option instead of the search option.

Admin

Advanced token and authorization request parameters for API credentials

When configuring an API credential with an OAuth authentication method, you can optionally add parameters to the token or authorization requests.

These additional parameters can be used to satisfy authentication requirements for particular API endpoints. For more information on configuring token and authorization credentials, see Add API credentials and connectors to Sigma.

Native support for Databricks variant type (Beta)

Sigma now natively supports the Variant data type on Databricks connections.

Previously, columns with the Variant data type in Databricks were treated as text data in Sigma. Now, they are treated as variant data.

Data modeling

Configure default timelines for metrics in data models

You can now add a default timeline configuration to a data element in a data model for all metrics created on that data element to use. Workbooks and reports that use metrics with default timelines configured as a source are not affected.

See Configure a default timeline for metrics.

Embeds

New document:element:nodata outbound JavaScript event

A new document:element:nodata outbound JavaScript event is now available. For example, use the event to change the embedded content if no data is returned for an element.

For more details, see Outbound event reference.

New option for document:navigateto inbound JavaScript event

The document:navigateto inbound JavaScript now takes the inodeId of a workbook, report, or data model page as a property. See Inbound event reference for more details.

Workbook elements

Conditional formatting for repeated container cards

Repeated container cards support conditional formatting, allowing you to configure conditional background colors based on the row in the data source connected to each card.

For more information, see Use repeated containers to generate layouts from data (Beta).

See Work with hierarchies (Beta).

Hierarchy column support for Databricks connections (Beta)

Creating and editing hierarchy columns is now supported for Databricks connections.

See Work with hierarchies (Beta) and the RaggedHierarchy (Beta) function reference for more information.

Workbook features

Custom page header formatting options

Custom page headers now support advanced formatting options, including border style and background images.

For more information, see Add custom page headers to a workbook.

Bug fixes

• For a workbook with a stored procedure action, tagging a version and swapping the source no longer fails with an error. You might need to sync the stored procedure after tagging the version.

Deprecated features

Creating hierarchies from the Manage hierarchies popover (Deprecated)

Creating hierarchies in the Manage hierarchies popover is deprecated. Starting September 15, 2026, you will no longer be able to create new hierarchies in the Manage hierarchies popover, or edit existing hierarchies created from the popover. Instead, migrate to hierarchy columns.

Datasets (Deprecated)

Datasets are now deprecated:

• Starting June 2, 2026, creating new datasets and editing existing datasets will no longer be available.
• Starting September 15, 2026, you will no longer be able to use datasets as a data source or view datasets in Sigma.

Migrate existing datasets to data models, and update any documents that use datasets as a source to use data models instead. See Migrate a dataset to a data model.

Deprecated option for List members endpoint (Deprecated)

The search option for the List members (GET /v2/members) endpoint is now deprecated and will be removed on September 15, 2026. Instead, use the new email parameter to filter API requests.
