Screenful FAQ
Does this support my specific workflow or do I have to use some specific states like "open", "in progress" and "done"?
You are not limited to any specific set of states or a workflow. You can configure your own workflow, if such exists, and you can use that in your reporting. It's also ok if you don't have any workflow in your boards, as can create reports based on any other criteria by setting a filter.

Is there a way to remove outliers from the data?
If you want to exclude individual items from the metrics, you can do it by following the steps below
Set a specific label or tag (e.g. "excluded") to the item you want to exclude (task, issue, user story etc.)
Go to Screenful and reset the data source in the Data sync options
Go to the chart in question and set a filter (e.g. label is none of 'excluded')
If the item is already archived, you have to unarchive it first. Then apply the steps 1-2. After that, you can archive it again.
