No. At this time, none of the CaMS data shown in the Jobs Portal is visible to clients.
No, CaMS data is not real-time. To prevent performance issues from affecting the Jobs Portal, data from third-party providers is updated daily during an overnight process. Consequently, the CaMS data displayed in the Service Provider Portal may not reflect the most recent changes made earlier in the day. Caseworkers can refresh the latest CaMS data for individual clients directly within the Client Profile.
