Configure Launch and UKG Pro Integration

Automatic Launch Integration

UKG Launch can interface with UKG Pro, enabling users to load employee data directly into UKG Pro and display UKG Pro values for some fields. 

Note The integration between Launch and UKG Pro happens automatically, but can also be completed manually.
