Returning RFIs

Now that you and your team have responded to the RFI, it's time to return it to the General Contractor!

Step 1: Double-check you're happy with your response and every consultant has responded.

Step 2: Review your distribution list. You can remove or add people as needed.

Create your standard RFI distribution group at your project settings so it will auto-populate for you! Click here to learn more.

Individuals = Consultants that were assigned as 'reviewers' or 'contributors' to the document.

Groups = Individuals that were added to a custom distribution group created in project settings.

Step 3: Click 'Return' in the top right corner of the RFI.

Step 4: Select which attachments you want to return as part of your final response.

Step 5: Review the pop-up that appears after clicking 'Continue'. This is one final check to confirm your response, and who will receive it.

You have the option to include a 'Distribution message' that will be included in the body of the email the distribution list will receive. This helps give some additional context/info to the group.

Step 6: Click 'Return' in the bottom right corner of the pop-up.

Everyone on the distribution list will receive an email that includes a link to the RFI in Part3, as well as a combined PDF that includes the cover page and any attachments.

Now the RFI has been returned!

Reopening an RFI

Step 1: Click the '+' beside the 'Revise' button and select 'Reopen'.
