Import the OrgPlus organisational CSV into a structured series of related objects

Installation

Call $orgPlus = OrgPlus::upload($path) on the controller where you are uploading the OrgPlus CSV.

The OrgPlus data will be processed and mapped to the relevant objects based on the fields provided.

These objects are then held in libraries on the OrgPlus object, keyed by their required field.

All information specific to an individual Cost Centre, such as code, people, and Upns.

All information specific to an individual Person, such as name, e-mail, Cost Centre, and Upn.

All information specific to an individual Upn, such as code, job title, grade, Cost Centre, and people.

Bear in mind that a Upn can be shared by any number of people.

Job information is typically held on the Upn, where personal information is held on the Person.

When the relevant fields are available, OrgPlus objects will contain references to other objects.

Both UPN and PARENT_UPN fields must be provided in the CSV to perform the parent and child hierarchy mapping.

Cost Centres are related to:

You can parse the libraries of models yourself, or you can produce a linked list of values for quick reference.

These linked lists could be stored for later use in a database, or used immediately to find relevant entries in the libraries.

When outputting linked lists, only the first occurrence of an object within a tree section is used to prevent infinite looping.
