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.
