Service Provider Portal

Client Self Identification Updates
The “Identify As” options contained in the jobseeker self-registration form and new client form, have been updated as follows:
- Updated Terminology: The “Identify As” checkboxes on the jobseeker self-registration form have been updated to reflect the target populations as CaMS sees them. For example, Indigenous was replaced with Metis, Inuit, and First Nations.
- Configurability: Service providers can now request custom configurations for the identification options in the ‘Add Client’ form. For example, they may ask for more detailed disability categories or specific immigration sources to be included.
- CaMS Data Authority: In cases where CaMS fields match these updated fields, the CaMS value will be the authoritative data point. While jobseekers can still update this data in their profiles, these updates will not affect what a Caseworker sees if the client is linked to CaMS.
Manager Reports Relocated
- Reports Moved: The following reports have been relocated from the Dashboard to the Reports section (only visible to Portal Staff who have the Reports permission):
- Staff Report
- Portal Report
- Resume Report
- Top Viewed/Following Report
- Manager Dashboard Removed: With the shift to a permission-based system and the relocation of reports to a single area within the Job Portal, the Manager Dashboard has been deprecated. Job Portal users with Reports permissions will now see the following dashboard widgets:
- Quick Stats
- Notifications
- Tasks
- News
- Activity
NEW! Portal Alert System
We have introduced a new notification system to better communicate issues and important updates to service provider staff.
- Notification Info Bar: Notifies staff of issues affecting the Jobs Portal, such as CaMS outages, and share time-sensitive news.
- Visibility: The notification bar is non-dismissible and will be displayed for all Service Provider staff when a message is active.
- Message Management: Administrators can easily manage alert content in the back-end of the system by navigating to Job Portal > Portal Alert System.
NEW! Disable Referral Emails
Referral emails are sent to service provider staff when a new referral is made. Typically, these referrals are not assigned to a specific caseworker, resulting in all service provider portal users receiving the notification.
Referral emails can now be disabled for individual users. This feature helps manage referral email notifications, reducing unnecessary emails by allowing administrators to disable notifications for specific users.
Administrators can navigate to a specific user in the back-end, and select the Suppress Referral Emails checkbox to disable notifications for that user.
NEW! Edit Client Profile
Service provider staff can now edit client profiles directly.
- Editable Information:
- Case details (Note: The specific case details that can be edited are based on a user’s permissions)
- Profile information
- Work history
- Communication preferences
- Synchronization with CaMS:
- To ensure consistency and synchronization between platforms, any client data that exists in CaMS can only be updated in CaMS.
Other Minor Updates
- New Client Form
- Brackets are now accepted in the phone number field
- Reports:
- CaMS data accuracy disclaimer added
- Terminology change from Gender to Sex throughout portal
- Preferred Name:
- Preferred Name field now includes the placeholder text If different than legal name
