Clients-
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming platform change that requires your attention.
What is changing
Our reporting vendor, Sigma, is ending support for the current datasets that are used to connect all workbooks to the data warehouses and requiring a migration to a new data model layer. This will affect all workbooks and reports that reference any projection output in SLOPE. We expect that most workbook references will update automatically and you will see no impact from this change, but some may require further modifications after the migration.
What we will handle
Our team will be handling the migration of all Slope datasets to the new data models, using Sigma’s auto-migration tool. We will update all Slope system workbooks as part of the migration. No action is needed from you for those.
What to keep an eye out for
We recommend you review any workbooks that your team has built following the migration on August 24th, in case any updates are needed. This includes all workbooks in your company workspace or in the My Documents folder of the reporting module. More detail about working with data models will be shared at a later date.
How to review your workbooks:
- Log into Slope after the migration
- Open your custom workbook
- Check that all data references and visualizations are loading correctly
- Identify and resolve any broken references or errors
If you need assistance with your workbook, contact Slope Support with a link to the workbook and a description of the error. Ensure that the workbook is saved in a shared folder.
Migration timing
The migration is scheduled for August 24, 2026.
We will not know which workbooks may need updates before the migration runs. We recommend blocking off a little time in your team’s schedule on or shortly after August 24th to complete this review.
If you have any questions in the meantime, do not hesitate to reach out to Slope Support.
