3. 3

   Fill in the form and send. If you close it before sending, your work waits in Drafts.

New RFI

New RFI opens the same form you get from a project RFI register: pick the project, address the RFI to the person who owes the answer, ask the question, and set a response date. When you send it, the RFI lands in the recipient's Inbox and shows in your Sent and RFIs mailboxes.

For the full field-by-field guide, see Raise an RFI.

New Transmittal

New Transmittal works the same way: pick the project, choose the recipients, attach documents from the register, and give the reason for issue. The transmittal goes out on the record, and each recipient sees it in their inbox.

For the full walkthrough, see Issue a transmittal.
