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

Installation

Usage

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

The $file variable can be either a UploadedFile or a string path.

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

• Cost Centre (requires COST_CENTRE field)
• Person (requires EMAIL_ADDRESS field)
• Upn (requires UPN field)

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

Cost Centre ($orgPlus->costCentres)

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

Person ($orgPlus->people)

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

Upn ($orgPlus->upns)

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.

Relationships and hierarchy

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 Centre

Cost Centres are related to:

• Any number of parent Cost Centres
• Any number of child Cost Centres
• Any number of Upns
• Any number of people

Person

• Any number of parent people
• Any number of child people
• One UPN
• One Cost Centre

Upn

• Any number of parent Upns
• Any number of child Upns
• One Cost Centre
• Any number of people

Linked lists

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.

• Cost Centre children
• Cost Centre hierarchy
• Cost Centre parents
• Cost Centre People
• Cost Centre Upns
• Person children
• Person Cost Centre
• Person hierarchy
• Person parents
• Person Upn
• Upn children
• Upn hierarchy
• Upn parents
• Upn Cost Centre
• Upn People

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