Auto-Forward RFIs to Consultants, Engineers, and Owner Reviewers

The auto-forward feature is intended to link consultants, engineers, and owner reviewers to trades so the RFI can be automatically delivered to the correct user.

Users are linked to trades and not specification sections.

You must be a Project Administrator to configure the auto-forward settings.

Perform the following steps to configure auto-forwarding for RFIs.

To auto-forward RFIs to consultants, engineers, and owner reviewers

Select Administration > Module Configuration from the RFIs module.

 In the Trades/Disciplines section, click the Add/Remove Users link in the Auto-Invite Reviewers column to add consultant(s), engineer(s), or owner reviewer(s) to each trade as needed.

Select the checkboxes for all desired users, then click Update and Close at the bottom of the Add/Remove Users popup.

Once you link a user to the trade they automatically receive RFIs to which the trade is assigned. The email notification is also sent to the architect or design team leader.

At no time will a consultant, engineer, or owner reviewer receive an email notification from a contractor.

After the RFI is forwarded, the architect or design team leader may manually forward the RFI to additional consultants, engineers, and owner reviewers if required.

The contractor must select the correct trade for the RFI to be automatically forwarded to the consultant and engineer.
