====Data Bindings====

A **data binding** is a link between a [[properties|property]] and external data - either live or historical.

A single property can be linked to several different data management systems. One for each [[contexts|context]], and its live data.

To bind a property to data, you need three items already in place.

1) A [[driver|driver]] installed and running.

2) A [[data source|data source]] created.

3) The address / name of the individual piece of information within that data source.

See [[connecting properties to data]] for more information on //how// to set up a data binding.
