Forward an RFI by Email

For example, once an RFI is closed, you may need to notify (or re-notify) additional parties who were not on the distribution list, to inform them of the official answer/response to the RFI. The ability to email an RFI is a manual, on-demand action that you can perform, at your own discretion. 

1. Navigate to the project's RFIs tool.
2. Locate the desired RFI in the list. Then click View.
   
3. Click Email.
   
4. Add your desired recipients in the To and/or CC fields.
   Note: As the sender, your profile's email address is automatically added to the CC field.
5. Set user access to the message as follows:
   • To restrict access to this message, mark the Private checkbox.
     OR
   • To permit users with 'Read-Only' and 'Standard' level permission to view the message (i.e., using the 'Email' sub tab of the RFI), remove the mark from the Private checkbox.
6. In the Subject box, accept the default subject line or write your own.
7. In the Attachments area, attach any relevant files to the message.
8. In the Message box, type your desired message. This field corresponds to the body of the email message. 
9. Click Send.
   The system sends the designated recipients an email, which is pictured below. The subject line of the email using this format: FW: RFI: #{#}: {Subject}
