 * Hi there,
 * Is it possible to call external databases with this plugin? Let’s say there’s
   an open database that contains data on whether or not someone receives a certain
   amount of monetary compensation based on location. Is it possible to integrate
   this with either the Free or Pro version?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@thomdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomdj/)
 * If you want to populate fields with data stored in an external data source, like
   a database or CSV file, you should use the set of DS fields distributed with 
   the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin. For more information, please,
   read the following post in the plugin’s blog:

 * If it is an external service, the integration would depend on the external service
   conditions, and you could use the “Connection” module, described in the following
   post of the plugin’s blog:
