Yes, you can leave it on the jack. Just make sure you have a good sturdy jack. Don't cheap out.

Be sure and strap it down tight.
ANY bike that fell off a jack, let alone an Ultra, could kill you dead.

..or a grandkid, or some fool neighbor kid messin' around where he shouldn't be.

Notice any hydraulic bike lift or jack has a latching mechanism, some way of locking the jack, because over a matter of days, if not hours, the hydraulics will leak down and dump your bike.
