UCPath Projects: June Release
The 2023 UCPath June Release will launch the following projects in the UCPath system on June 20, 2023: Lived Name, Manage Job, and the Annual UCPath Upgrade. We strongly recommend reviewing the project spaces and review all demos to develop a better understanding of the changes that are coming to the UCPath system.
Phase 1 of the Replace PayPath project will feature the new Manage Job tile, which will provide a modernized solution to accurately and reliably process job data information directly in UCPath.

Keep a manual record of all UCPath transactions entered from June 1 – June 12
Transactors will need to plan to keep a manual record of all UCPath transactions entered between June 1, 2023 to June 12, 2023 as part of UCPath's contingency plan, in case a backup will need to be restored.
