Template similar to Workforce App

Question

I am undertaking a huge Workforce to Field Maps w/ Tasks migration/transition project. Starting to explore/experiment with AGOL Experience Builder to see if I can replicate the Workforce Application. Is there a Template that is very similar to the functions/layout/widgets that make-up the Workforce App that anyone can recommend, just as a starting point?

Thank You

If there is a template Esri created, I would think they would be marketing that pretty heavily. It could definitely be something someone else created, though. Once you create a few Experience Builder apps, it gets pretty easy to customize them for whatever use case you have.

Esri does have some Experience Builder templates out there that might be worth looking through. I could also see building out things like a split map/list view, task status queues (Unassigned, Assigned, In Progress, etc.), a worker/crew view, and a task details/assignment panel to get pretty close to the Workforce dispatcher experience.

Yes, the Manager Instant App was also recommended. However, it does not completely solve the problem of eliminating the Workforce App for the dispatcher. I am presently in discussion with an ESRI Product Manager on providing feedback and advise on improving the Manager Instant App to much more replicate the functionality of the Dispatcher WF Application.

From reviewing the capacities of ESRI Experience Builder, it appears I can somewhat replicate some of the components of Workforce into a custom built application. What I am asking is IF there is a template previous created, OR an example created that closely replicates the layout, abilities and functionality of Workforce that I can use as a starting point. With a starting point, I can tailer it to our Operation's staff specifications and requests.

I believe Esri is recommending to use the Manager Instant App template for recreating a dispatching experience.
