Split Parents

Split Parent in Cloudwork

Split parents are handled in Cloudwork by determining whether both split parents have the same or different user_code

Split Parents with different user_codes

Split Parents created in TASS with user_codes are displayed on Cloudwork as:

Splits Parents in User List using different user_codes

Parent 1 using user_code for username

Parent 2 using user_code for username

Split Parents with same user_code

Split Parents sharing one user_code, when creating separate accounts, in Cloudwork, the sfa_num will be added to Parents user_code to distinguish them.
