2026 Week 03 | Sigma: Running Feedback Loop

/ Sigma, Workout Wednesday / By
Introduction

This week’s Workout Wednesday is about turning feedback into part of the workflow, not a side conversation.

You’ll build a lightweight, in-workbook feedback loop in Sigma that lets stakeholders flag issues directly on tables and charts, with context intact. Instead of comments that disappear or Slack messages that pile up, feedback becomes structured, reviewable, and repeatable.

The goal isn’t more collaboration features. It’s fewer meetings, clearer signals, and a simple pattern you can reuse anywhere multiple people co-manage the same data.

Prepare your workbook

  • Open the provided workbook.

  • Add a second page for hidden controls (recommended).

  • Create a single Input Table called FEEDBACK_PIPELINE.

Create feedback controls (hidden page)

Add controls to store context:

  • CE-Section (text, hidden, pre-filled per tab)

  • CE-Object (text)

  • CE-Identifier-1 (text or number)

  • CE-Identifier-2 (text, optional)

  • CE-Feedback (text area)

  • CE-Urgency (P0–P3)

These controls should not be user-editable.

Build the feedback modal

  • Create one modal only.

  • Bind modal inputs to the feedback controls.

  • Add a button that:

    • Inserts a new row into FEEDBACK_PIPELINE

    • Clears all __________

    • Closes the __________

Add feedback entry points

For each table or chart:

  • Add a click target (icon column, button, or chart click).

  • Create an action sequence:

    1. Open Modal

    2. Sets the Concat([CE-Section], “.”, “BusinessTable”) formula in the proper place

    3. Set identifiers from the clicked row or element

    4. Add any other pieces to the modal and input table you’d like

Repeat this pattern across objects. Do not duplicate the modal.

Create the feedback pipeline view

  • Display FEEDBACK_PIPELINE in a separate section or page.

  • Show:

    • Object

    • Feedback text

    • Identifiers

    • Urgency

    • Created timestamp

  • Add filters for object and urgency.

BONUS: Create KPI cards to summarize the feedback loop
