RFI – An Overview

Standard RFI Workflow

Notifications

When an RFI is submitted to or assigned to your company:

  1. You will receive an email notification containing the details of the RFI.
  2. The RFI count on your company dashboard will increase.

All companies associated with the project will receive an email notification when an RFI is completed. Project and/or document settings may impact these notifications. Notifications can be managed by each ConDoc user.  

Who can see RFIs?

In-Process RFIs: Only companies who have been submitted or assigned to the RFI or any company that has been granted explicit access to the RFI can see the RFI while it is in process.

Completed RFIs – Public: For RFIs that have been flagged as public, any company that is a member of the project can view or download the RFI.
