Create actions that control single row containers (Beta)
This documentation describes one or more public beta features that are in development. Beta features are subject to quick, iterative changes; therefore the current user experience in the Sigma service can differ from the information provided in this page.
This page should not be considered official published documentation until Sigma removes this notice and the beta flag on the corresponding feature(s) in the Sigma service. For the full beta feature disclaimer, see Beta features.
Workbooks support actions that change the state of single row containers, enabling control over which row is displayed in the container. The Set single row container action can be used to set the selected value from the unique identifier column of the single row container's data source.
This document explains how to create actions that set the row displayed in a single row container. For more information about actions in Sigma, see Intro to actions.
User requirements
The following requirements apply to users who configure actions. Users who access and interact with a workbook can typically trigger all existing actions within it. Any restrictions are noted in this document.
The ability to configure actions requires the following:
-
You must be assigned an account type with the Full explore or Create, edit, and publish workbooks permission enabled.
-
You must be the workbook owner or be granted Can explore1 or Can edit access to the workbook.
1If you’re granted Can explore access to the workbook, you can configure actions in custom, saved, and shared views. Actions saved to views do not apply to the workbook’s published version.

Create an action that sets the row displayed in a single row container. For more details about single row containers, see Use single row containers to show records in detail.
- Open the draft, custom view, or saved view of a workbook.
- Select the trigger element (the element users must interact with to initiate the action).
- In the editor panel, open the Actions tab.
- Create a new sequence, or locate an existing sequence that you want to modify.
