When you display a dynamic association, the area of the page is inherited from its parent. For example, if the parent page is in area 1, when you display a dynamic association it will also be area 1. This allows you to call the same dynamic association from different pages in different areas.
The inherited area may be avoided by defining a specific area for the dynamic association. This means, every instance of the dynamic association will have the same area, despite the area inherited from its parent.
Dynamic associations will only inherit areas if their area is blank.
