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 organizationโs usage trends, query statistics, document access changes, and much more. You can download this data and the associated charts for later use.

Usage reports
- Users
