Can anyone give me a steer as to which one of the many Experience Builder templates has been used for this example (-URL included) ?

I've a very particular requirement to build an EB for a social statistics team within my organisation, a multi-tabbed application with 8 or more maps, and substantial text / labelling capabilities. We have trialled the Instant Apps 'portfolio' offering but found its configuration limiting as to what we wanted, particularly where informatory text is concerned. However, I have this morning stumbled upon the following application, used by a Canadian charity:

Ottawa Neighbourhood Equity Index

This seems to use an overarching EB which then contains tabbed links to 6 individual EB apps and 1 page containing an embedded image. It would appear to be pretty well what we would like to trial, and I am currently searching the many available templates. Lest that take time, can anybody give a hint as to the likely template(s) used ? Thanks in advance.

I don't believe they used a Template or if they did they modified it heavily. The site you linked to was built outside Experience Builder (Inspecting the metadata, it appears to be WordPress) with an Experience Builder project embedded within it. The direct link to the Experience Builder site is here. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/76a2df84bb93406db7fda4115d652986

The closest Templates to their design are Foldable, Tab, JewelryBox and Pocket.

Thanks for getting back; I appreciate that they had it embedded within a non-ESRI page and had gotten down to that top-level EB URL, under which there are 6 other sub-pages and and an image. But those template suggestions you've given are exactly the sort of nod that we're after, and I'll start experimenting with those. Thanks again.

Experience Builder does not permanently expose the template used once an app is created. A template functions only as a starting point, not as a label that remains attached to the app.

You cannot find or recover the Experience Builder template used to create an existing web app. I think ArcGIS Experience Builder does not store, expose, or retain template information after the app is created.

The Experience Builder template is embedded within their WordPress website theme. Here you can see they embeded the Experience builder template:

As @JeffreyThompson2 mentioned earlier, they could have used any of the above mentioned Experience Builder templates; the closest match appears to be JewelryBox.

If you’d still like to know the exact template they used, your best option would be to reach out to them directly using the contact email on their website.

Thanks again; yes, I appreciate that I'm going to have experiment a little to achieve a similar outcome: my hope was that the finished Experience Builder, particularly the distinctive multi-tabbed primary site, would be the result of a very specific EB template. I'll pursue the suggestions given.

@JulieEdwards

Thanks. I agree, seeking with intention usually leads somewhere meaningful.

Just a quick tip! If you’ve got time, check out these free ESRI online courses — they’re pretty useful. I’ve already done a few. Make an Impact with Modern Geo Apps.

All the best.
