How to assign estimates to tasks in Trello
Estimates can be used to represent the effort (or time) required to complete a task. You don't need to specify a unit, it's just a number associated with a task. Screenful will read that number and use it as a measure throughout the dashboard.
There are two ways you can assign estimates (such as story points) for cards:
Use the Card Size Power-Up (recommended)
Use the Trello’s custom fields

Assigning estimates using Trello’s custom fields
You can use a Number or Dropdown type custom field for providing an estimate for a task. Learn how to set estimates using a custom field.
Screenful will automatically import your custom fields and make them available in the Unit menu.
Notice that if your custom field doesn’t appear in the unit menu, it means that the field is not a Number field. You need to map it to the Number field before you can use it.
