1 How to Manage a Branch Account This guide is intended for use by the Main Account that has established Branch accounts. The Main Account may need to edit Branch Account information such as allowing sharing of positions and/or candidates, automatic transfer of credits from the Main Account and establishing an Address book. These edits are done from the Main Account s Branch List page. Below is a description of how Branches are to be used. Branches are intended for accounts with multiple locations. If a Customer Account has more than one location, Branches are recommended in order to keep the data separate from the Main account. The Branch must have the same account type as the Main account. Branch accounts can use the Main account's Positions and those Candidates that may be used and shared by others. If you are a Distributor account, you should not create Branch accounts for Customers, but instead create a Customer account. See the How-To-Guide How to Create A New Account.
