Sigma's sample connection

New Sigma organizations automatically get access to two sample connections on Snowflake and Databricks, named the Sigma Sample Database and Sigma Sample Catalog, respectively. You can use the sample connections to jumpstart your first-time Sigma experience, test features and workflows, and more.

💡

If your organization doesn't have access to the Sigma Sample Catalog, contact your Account Executive.

Example workbooks

Every Sigma user is provided a set of example workbook templates upon signup. All examples are built on data in the Sigma sample connection.  You can view these examples in your Templates gallery. See Get started with workbook templates.

Create a workbook from sample data

Creating a workbook from Sigma’s sample connection will give you a taste of what it will be like to use your own data in Sigma; see Create a workbook.

Hide the sample connection

Users assigned the Admin account type can hide the Sigma sample connection for their organization. If you hide the connection, users cannot see it listed in the connection list. However, content built on top of the sample connection is still visible and usable.

1. Go to Administration > Account > General Settings.

   1. In the Sigma header, click your user avatar to open the user menu.
