Waiting for answers to RFIs and Submittals can delay trades and hold up the project. At Fieldlens we believe in a more efficient flow of information. That's why we've created post flags for RFIs and Submittals - just like safeties and deficiencies.
When you create an RFI or Submittal in Fieldlens and add an assignee, they will get notified immediately. And by sharing with the trades, they’ll get the answers when you do!
Important note: All RFIs and Submittals are made public. That means they’re visible to everyone using Fieldlens that’s on the project.
Creating a post from mobile:
Hit the create button “+”

You can select a RFI or Submittal flag from the Post flag drop-down when creating a New Post.

RFI and Submittal IDs
Each and every RFI and Submittal post will be assigned a unique ID in Fieldlens. If you create your first RFI within a project, for example, it will be RFI #1 with the post status of open, resolved, or closed.
