The following table lists the high-level actions you need to do in each application in order to add a Pre-generated map area in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. Once the Pre-generated map area is displayed in the Map Areas panel in a Mobile app, users interact with them in just the same way as Custom map areas.
Pre-generated map areas cannot be copied from one Deployment stage to the next in VertiGIS Studio Mobile Designer. When you move a Mobile app from Development to Testing, Staging or Production, the map area is dropped.
If you plan to use a pre-generated map area in a Mobile app and you want your users to interact with map areas, you need to add them to the Testing or Staging or Production versions of the Mobile app in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS.
