What's New

AI

Allow Assistant to search all sources (Beta)

An admin can configure the default behavior of Sigma Assistant to use any data sources available to users or limit Assistant to only specific configured data sources. Users can always manually choose a source for Assistant to use from the sources that they have access to. Assistant performs best with data models.

For more details, see Configure AI features for your organization.

New model used for Snowflake (AWS) AI provider

If you use Snowflake as your AI provider, and your Snowflake account is hosted on AWS, Sigma now uses Claude Sonnet 5 as the LLM.

When you use Assistant in the workbook (Beta), or if Sonnet 5 is unavailable in your account, Sigma continues to use Claude Sonnet 4.5.

For more details, see Supported AI models.

API

Allow users with a Build license to generate client credentials (Beta)

The Create API key account type permission is now available to allow non-admins to generate client credentials.

See Generate Sigma API client credentials and Generate embed client credentials for information on generating client credentials, and Account type permission availability matrix for permission information.

New API endpoints for managing organization settings

The following endpoints are now available to programmatically manage organization settings in Sigma. Manage bulk copy settings, license upgrade request settings, and public embed settings:

• Get the bulk copy setting for an organization (GET /v2/organizations/settings/bulkCopy)
• Update the bulk copy setting for an organization (PATCH /v2/organizations/settings/bulkCopy)
• Get the license upgrade request setting for an organization (GET /v2/organizations/settings/licenseUpgradeRequests)

• Get the public embeds setting for an organization (GET /v2/organizations/settings/publicEmbeds)
• Update the public embeds setting for an organization (PATCH /v2/organizations/settings/publicEmbeds)

New API endpoints for managing plugins

The following endpoints are now available to programmatically manage plugins in Sigma:

• List plugins (GET v2/plugins)
• Create a plugin (POST v2/plugins)
• Get a plugin (GET v2/plugins/:pluginId)
• Update a plugin (PATCH v2/plugins/:pluginId)
• Delete a plugin (DELETE v2/plugins/:pluginId)

Admin

Materialization usage dashboard updates

The Materializations tab in the Usage dashboard now reports materialization utilization ratio to help admins compare a materialization’s compute cost against how often it’s actually used. For every materialized element, Sigma tracks the number of queries that used it and divides that by the number of refreshes, giving you the average queries served per refresh.

This data is available in two places:

• The Leaderboard section now includes a Utilization Ratio per Materialization bar chart.
• The Documents section’s table now includes two new columns: Queries and Utilization Ratio.

Reports

Rename report pages

You can now rename report pages to make them easier to identify.

See Rename report pages.

Workbook features

Convert deprecated hierarchies to hierarchy columns

Hierarchies created in the deprecated Manage hierarchies popover can now be easily converted to hierarchy columns. Navigate to an existing hierarchy created from the popover, and select Convert to new hierarchy from the popover.

See Work with hierarchies for more information on hierarchy columns.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Adding a tenant organization in the Azure AU region did not add a tenant in the correct region.
• Duplicate action tools in agents no longer reference the same configuration as the action they were copied from, so changing a setting (like a connector, dynamic text URL, or stored procedure) on one action no longer overwrites that setting on the other action.
• Formulas that return a date now display as expected in columns and list controls.
• In workbooks, Sigma Assistant in build mode no longer crashes intermittently when asking the user a variety of question types.
• Waterfall charts no longer throw errors when you hover an axis tick label with a numeric x-axis category.
