2026 Week 32 | Drawers

/ Sigma, Workout Wednesday / By

Introduction

We’ve had modals for awhile, but Sigma has introduced a similar concept with its new Drawers feature. I think they look great, and work really well for storing form data. This is a beta feature, so if you have feedback, please share and help shape the feature!

  1. Create a new input table called INPUT – Employee Info, and add 6 columns:

    • Update the formatting as you like
    • Add a calculated column called Edit

    • Update the text color to light blue, so it looks clickable
