Rebinding a Report

[acanfield]

The documentation states:

"

• On rebind, reports with a live connection will lose that connection and instead have a direct binding to the target dataset.

"

I have a report that connects to the dataset using live connection. This says that when I rebind the report to a new dataset I will lose 'live connection' and will have 'direct binding to the target dataset'.

What is direct binding? I have not come across this terminology before.
