Module Walkthrough

RFI Tracking

Use RFIs to ask a project question, attach backup, send it for review, track responses, generate the PDF, and close the record when the answer is official.

Process

How the work moves through the module

1

Draft the question

Capture the subject, drawing reference, spec section, due date, attachments, delay/cost flags, and who needs to answer.

2

Polish and distribute

Use Friday polish where useful, finalize the RFI, send it to the distribution list, and track the outgoing record.

3

Register the official answer

Record the response, keep attachments and PDF output with the RFI, then close or reopen the record as needed.

Operating Rhythm

How the workflow stays moving

Where it lives

  • This module is part of the project work page, so records stay tied to the job, customer, team, files, schedule, and financial context.
  • The project navigation is the customer clue: users do not hunt for this work in a separate app. They open the project and choose the correct tab.

What a contractor can do

  • Create RFI drafts
  • Use Friday polish for clearer questions
  • Autosave and finalize
  • Manage distribution lists
  • Submit, distribute, close, reopen, resend, or claw back
  • Register responses
  • Generate PDFs
  • Manage attachments
  • Use public review and response links
