Interacting with a database

[Theresa de Valence]

Hello Framers,

I want to build a Frame template and populate it with items (about 500) 
from a spreadsheet to create a book. Each item has a photo, name, 
description, email address. Can this be automated?

What is this process called in Frame?

As an aside, my Frame manual is somewhere in a box, I haven’t found it 
yet. Is it worthwhile spending half the day looking for it, or are there 
more appropriate sources elsewhere? I have (vaguely) looked for this 
kind of feature in the manual before, but haven’t found anything that 
looks appropriate.

Thanks in advance,
Theresa
