Configuring an incremental report in Sigma Studio

To configure an incremental report in Sigma Studio, perform the following stepsSigma enables you to configure a report with a specific file extension of your choice for the CSV format. You can even select a specific delimiter for the CSV format. Delimiters like comma and semicolon pave the way for the listed characters in the data sets to be distinctively separated in a proper manner. For the CSV format, the delimiters like comma and semicolon logically separate the different characters present in the data sets and the logical sequence of data will be displayed in an acute manner in accordance with the adept usage of delimiters. In Sigma Studio, you can assign delimiters and choose a specific file extension for the CSV format with simple and effective configuration steps.

2. Click the Text Qualifier drop-down list and select a text qualifier of your choice, e.g. Double Quotes.
   

   Note

   Text Qualifiers are used within the delimiters to indicate the beginning and the end of the contents for a particular delimited text value. If the delimited text values are indicated in double-quotes, then the text values placed within the double quotes will not get separated by the delimiter, thereby ensuring that the specified text values placed within the double quotes are considered as a single value.
