Workbook Refresh Options
Sigma refreshes Workbook data every time an individual opens or refreshes the workbook.
If you would like a workbook's data to refresh without user action, you can set a custom refresh schedule. The Sigma Team recommends this option if you are primarily displaying the workbook on a screen that people may reference without interacting with it.
Data elements can also be refreshed individually.
Important: Sigma does not store data. Every refresh re-queries the data in the warehouse. Setting an auto-refresh may burden the connection and result in significant warehouse costs.
