This is an example representation of a workbook, retrieved using the [Get a workbook](/reference/get-workbook) endpoint with the query parameter `includeContents=true`. Representations like this one can be used to create a workbook from code using the [Create a workbook](/reference/create-workbook) endpoint. Each page in this example library includes the code representation of the workbook and step-by-step instructions to create it in the Sigma UI. Consult this example and others in the [Workbook representation example library](/docs/workbook-representation-example-library) to: * Troubleshoot the formatting of a particular feature in code representation * Relate a feature from the Sigma UI to its representation in code * Provide context to AI tools used to create workbooks from code > **Warning** > > This example representation cannot be used as-is. All identifying details, such as IDs, names, and URLs, have been replaced with randomized ID values or generic substitutions. The format of these contents, like the length of ID values, is preserved for demonstrative purposes. However, this representation cannot be directly used without modification to the base URL, connection details, and more. For more information, see [Create and manage workbooks from code](/docs/manage-workbooks-as-code). ## System and user requirements To complete the steps in this example, you must meet the user requirements listed below for creating the workbook in the UI and creating it from code. The ability to create this workbook in the Sigma UI requires the following: * You must be assigned an [account type](/docs/account-type-and-license-overview) with the **Create, edit, and publish workbooks** and **Create AI column** permissions enabled. * You must have access to a connection that meets the requirements to [Create an AI column](/docs/create-ai-columns#system-and-user-requirements). The ability to create a workbook from code requires the following: * You must be assigned an [account type](/docs/account-type-and-license-overview) with the **Create, edit, and publish workbooks** permission enabled. * You must have developer credentials for the Sigma API. For more information, see [Get started with the Sigma REST API](/reference/get-started-sigma-api). This example uses a table from the [Sigma Sample Connection](/docs/sigmas-sample-connection). Your organization might have disabled access to the Sigma sample connection. If so, you can contact an admin to enable it, or use a table from another connection to follow along with this example. ## Create the example workbook in the Sigma UI This example shows a workbook containing a table with an AI column. To create this workbook in the Sigma UI: 1. Go to the **Home** page. 2. Select ![](https://sigma-docs-screenshots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Icons/button-add.svg) **Create new** > **Workbook**. A new workbook opens. 3. From the **Add element** bar, select **Data** > **Table**. 4. In the **Select source** modal, search for the table `BIKE_TRIPS` in the `EXAMPLES.CITY_BIKE` schema. > **Tip** > > You can't create AI columns on the [Sigma sample connection](/docs/sigmas-sample-connection). To follow this example, use a table from a connection configured to use AI columns. 5. Add a filter to the table to only view data for trips starting from the **Sullivan Pl & Bedford Ave**: 1. Select **Filters** (![](https://sigma-docs-screenshots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Icons/filter.svg)) in the element toolbar. 2. Select **Add filter...** to add a new filter. 3. Search for and select the **Start Station Name** column. 4. Search for and select **Sullivan Pl & Bedford Ave**. 6. From the table, select the down arrow ![](https://sigma-docs-screenshots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Icons/caret.svg) to open the column menu. 7. In the column menu, select **Add column via** > **AI column**…. The **Add AI column** modal opens. 8. For **Column name**, enter `Federal holidays`. 9. For **Prompt**, enter the following prompt: `For trips starting at [Starttime], describe whether that day is a US federal holiday.` > **Info** > > To reference the *Starttime* column dynamically, press `=` on the keyboard to open the **Source column** modal, and select it. 10. Select the **JSON format** tab. 11. Add the following two fields: | Name | Type | Description | | :------------- | :---------- | :------------------------------------------------ | | `is_us_hol` | **Logical** | `Return true if the date is a US federal holiday` | | `holiday_name` | **Text** | `Name the holiday on this date` | 12. Select the **Don't run automatically** checkbox. 13. Select **Save**. 14. In the document header, select **Save as**. 15. Enter a name for the workbook, such as `ai-column`. 16. Select **Save**. ## Get a code representation of this workbook To get a representation of this workbook, follow the steps in [Get the code representation of a workbook](/docs/get-the-code-representation-of-a-workbook).
