# GroupInfo

`GroupInfo` is a lightweight group descriptor returned by the group-association helpers after they resolve customer-group, acronym, suffix, and phone information.

## Purpose
- Hold the normalized group data returned by `mdlGroupAssociation` helper functions.
- Derive source-system identifiers from the resolved group fields.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.External.Users`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Business.External.Users`
- Defined in: `mdlGroupAssociation.vb`

## Public members

| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Code` | `Public Property Code As String` | Get or set the base group code. |
| `ParentGroup` | `Public Property ParentGroup As String` | Get or set the parent-group code. |
| `Acronym` | `Public Property Acronym As String` | Get or set the group acronym. |
| `Suffix` | `Public Property Suffix As String` | Get or set the resolved suffix appended to some source-system identifiers. |
| `Phone` | `Public Property Phone As String` | Get or set the phone number associated with the group. |
| `IsParentGroup` | `Public Property IsParentGroup As Boolean` | Get or set whether the resolved match came from a parent-group lookup. |
| `New` | `Public Sub New(ByVal code As String, ByVal parentGroup As String, ByVal acronym As String, ByVal suffix As String, ByVal phone As String, isParentGroup As Boolean)` | Initialize a new `GroupInfo` instance from resolved group fields. |
| `SourceSystemID` | `Public ReadOnly Property SourceSystemID As String` | Return the uppercase source-system identifier, using `ParentGroup` for parent-group matches or `Code + Suffix` otherwise. |
| `CustomerGroup` | `Public ReadOnly Property CustomerGroup As String` | Return the uppercase customer-group identifier, using `ParentGroup` for parent-group matches or `Code` otherwise. |
| `SourceSystemGroupID` | `Public ReadOnly Property SourceSystemGroupID As String` | Return the uppercase source-system-group identifier, using `ParentGroup` for parent-group matches or `Acronym` otherwise. |

## Behavioral notes
- The computed identifier properties switch between parent-group and direct-group fields based on `IsParentGroup`.

## Constraints and usage notes
- `LoadGroup(...)` and `LoadLossControlGroup(...)` populate this class; `LoadRTWGroup(...)` returns a string instead of a `GroupInfo` instance.
