Usage overview

All organizations in Sigma automatically receive a set of Sigma-built usage dashboards. The usage dashboards provide measurable insights into how your organization uses Sigma in the form of detailed tables and charts representing your organizationโ€™s usage trends, query statistics, document access changes, and much more. You can download this data and the associated charts for later use.
