View source: R/hierarchy.R

The hierarchy function transforms a standard set of unique employee and supervisor identifiers (employee IDs, email addresses, etc.) into a wide or elongated format that can be used to aggregate employee data by a particular line of leadership (i.e. include everyone who rolls up to Susan).

1	hierarchy(ee, supv, format = "long", descending = TRUE)

`ee`	A vector containing unique identifiers for employees.
`supv`	A vector containing unique identifiers for supervisors. These values should be of the same type as the employee values.
`format`	character string; either "long" or "wide"; default = "long".
`descending`	logical; default = TRUE. Should the hierarchy levels be descending (i.e. the top person in the hierarchy is represented at level 1)?
