This tutorial can assist you with the understanding of how organization types and organizations are linked to each organization parent, type and adding members to the organization.
We will show you how to add members to the organization by assigning users to each organization. we use a table uploader to make this process quick.
Organisation types represent the different types of businesses, departments, or other organisations that your users belong to. This can be used to limit which organisations different types of users can sign up to. For example, if you have a user group "pharmacist" you might only want them to register to organisations of type "pharmacy". You can set the organisation type on your organisations either one at a time through the Manage organisations page, or you can set them when you upload a spread sheet of organisations.
Click on groups and users
Next, select organisations types
Select the add new organsiations button
Add a meaningful name and code for your organisation type
The code should be a unique name and preferably never be changed.
There are 2 steps to uploading your organisation database,
1st step: Is uploading and mapping fields from your CSV database file (ie - org ID, name, type of organisation and the basic credentials) but excluding your organisation parent ID/Path as this needs to add in step 2.
2nd step - Now that your org ID, name, type of organisation and the basic credentials have been added, you need to add only the org ID and org parent ID/path to the database using the table uploader and map the fields.
please see the link below regarding how table up-loaders work

Use this method when you need to add single or few organistaions manually

Add a Unique ID for that organisation
This unique ID code is used to enable updating from a spread sheet, it links users, memberships to groups and to organisations
Add a friendly name for the organistaion
Type - This is your organisation type, ie, If you are selling a product to a variety of stores but would like to categorise them like gas stations, dairies or bakeries, etc...
this is useful if you want to send targeted emails, specials and news etc to that organisation.
