Notes about ADP imports:

  • Excluding people already saved in Built from future imports will not delete the individuals in Built—it will only prevent additional data from being imported for those individuals. Existing data will remain until you delete it from Built.

  • When utilizing the ADP Workforce Now® Bidirectional API, imports will be disabled when there are unsent changes, outstanding errors, or while changes are being sent to ADP.
