Is there a way to configure Jira Align away from story points completely and solely to member weeks?

We find that lots of the reporting is based on story points which are converted to Member Weeks. Is it possible to configure Jira Align to solely use time-based estimation and not story point estimation? Thanks

@Samantha Michael  For Stories, the estimation type is points.  However, for Features and above, on a per portfolio basis, you can determine if you want to use Points, T-Shirt Size, Team Weeks, or Member Weeks.  If you selected Member Weeks, for example, then Features and Portfolio Epics would be sized using Member Weeks.  If you select T-Shirt Size, then you have an option to convert it to Member Weeks or Team Weeks (Global Setting under Admin-Platform-Portfolio).  In this case, there are pages, such as Forecast, that need to convert the T-shirt size.
