Looking for a better way to track workload? This walkthrough shows you how to use Lucid’s formula engine to automatically calculate and display the total story points of cards within a specific frame or container.

What you’ll learn:

  • Lucid formulas: Leveraging the contained formula and estimate property to pull data from Lucid Cards.
  • Dynamic titles: Using interpolated text to display a live-updating total directly in your container's title.
  • Flexible visualization: Exploring alternative ways to show totals, such as using conditional formatting text badges or dedicated "summary shapes" inside the frame.
  • Cross-product power: How to move between tools to access advanced data and formula features.

⚙️ A note on the UI

As this video was produced around 2024, the Lucid interface has been refreshed since then. However, the formula logic and the way containers "read" the data from the shapes inside them remain exactly the same.
