Smart Bookmarks: System bookmarks  Four new system bookmarks have been added, to support review processes and review apps.   
Smart Bookmarks: Bookmark overview  A new overview of bookmarks supports the estimating review processes.   
Compare Sigma files  Compare two Sigma files to see which components have been added and deleted, and which values have changed on similar components.  Enterprise 
Onboarding: Helpful links to onboarding guides  Support new and existing users finding useful guides very easily.   
Onboarding: Company custom onboarding guides  Companies may add custom links to the onboarding guides list to support internal training of Sigma users.   
Numeric Custom Fields  Custom fields now support three types: string, integer and float. This supports usage of custom fields for storing numbers and cost.   

Enhanced features in Sigma 7 

Feature  Description  Edition 
Activation Window  The UX has been improved to help new users buy and activate their Sigma software.   
Dragging Sigma components from Position column  To help both new and existing Sigma users, an additional method of dragging a component from the position column has been added. This helps starting a drag-drop operation for components that are not selected in the content view, and is more intuitive and in line with other applications   
Bookmark display improved  For components with bookmarks, only the number and text columns are now colored. In addition, the text color is automatically changed to light for bookmarks with dark colors. Together, this helps readability for bookmarks.   
AppScript: Access to Adds and Cuts  In the API, it’s now possible to read the values of adds and cuts in the project.   
AppScript: Access to Library Quick List settings  In the API, it’s now possible to set whether a library is a Quick List, and of which type.   
AppScript: Execute external applications and wait  In the API, it’s now possible to execute external applications, and possible to wait for them to finish.   
AppScript: Access to multiple components  In the API, it’s now possible to access a list of selected components.   
AppScript: Event for handling Oauth authentication callback  In the API, it’s now possible to await an external event of OAuth callback through the SigmaAuthToken protocol.   
AppScript: Performance enhanced 800% for TSigmaItem numeric value changes  In the API, operations on TSigmaItems are now much faster.   
AppScript: Custom fields can now be used in TSigmaQuickLibrary class  In the API, it’s now possible to create quick list integrations that populate the custom fields.   
AppScript: Compile time definitions to help backwards compability  AppScript now has the following defines that are available for compile time {$IFDEF} logic: 

APPSCRIPT_V10
SIGMA_6_5
SIGMA_6_6
SIGMA_7_0
 

 
Automatically use License Key in clipboard if valid  The activation process has been improved, by “listening” to Windows Clipboard for license numbers.   
DWF File loading now looks for “Id” property if “GlobalId” not present  When loading DWF files, Sigma now tries different properties to ensure loading Id’s on all building elements.   
Unit price column formulas now shown if “Show formulas” feature is active  Activating the “show formulas” feature now shows the formulas in both the quantity and the unit price columns.   
Sigma Insight now supports Time and Service columns  It is now possible to see the values and roll-ups of the Time and Service columns in the Insight views.   

Bug fixes in Sigma 7 

Feature  Description  Edition 
AppScript: Access to report variables  The class returned an invalid collection, which is now populated with the correct values.   
Position numbers now updates when using Ctrl+Up/Down keys to move components  Position numbers were wrecked when using the shortcuts for moving components between siblings.   
Clear formula in quantity field, if numeric value assigned to field.  When assigning a numeric value in the quantity column, existing formulas were not cleared.   
Progress dialog when executing update from Library  When updating from library, the progress bar did not show.
