Is the UKG Ready company ID the same as the company short name?

No. The Company ID (also shown as Company System ID or CID) is a numeric identifier for your UKG Ready instance, while the company short name is a text identifier. The UKG Ready mobile app asks for the company short name, whereas integrations and support requests usually reference the Company ID.
