Add RFI Comments and Responses in the Member Portal
After you submit an RFI, you can add comments to the RFI to share ideas and improvement tips in the Comments section. These comments are visible to the analysts. After an RFI is published as an alert, recipients of the alert can choose to respond to the RFI alert in the Responses section.
Steps
Navigate to Request For Information from the main menu.
Click All to view all your RFI requests.
Click Open to view open RFI requests.
Click Closed to view closed RFI requests.
Select an RFI and you can view details associated with it such as the status of the RFI, comments on the action, commenter name, RFI ID, the user who created the RFI, created date.
Choose to add any comments for an RFI in the Comments section. You can also add content from your local device as an attachment to the comment. Similarly, if you are the recipient of an RFI alert, you can choose to respond to the RFI in the Responses section and add attachments to it.
Note
You cannot comment after the RFI is closed. The analysts and members can only view a closed RFI.
You can view responses by other members to the RFI alert in the Responses section. You can also download the attachments in the responses.
You can add your response and view the RFI alert responses of other members in the RFI Responses section. Like RFI comments, you can add attachments. Additionally, you can also delete your responses to the RFI alert if the response is no longer relevant. Hover over the response, and click Delete.
Click Export to export RFI alert responses submitted on an RFI into a CSV file for offline analysis.
To close an Open RFI, click Status, enter a comment, and click Submit. You cannot reopen a closed RFI.
