The project’s RFIs dashboard lists every RFI sent from that project, plus your own drafts. Use it to check statuses, spot overdue requests, and open the details of any RFI.

​
Choose a view

The dashboard has two views of the same RFIs. Acelab remembers your choice across projects and devices.
Table is the default view. It shows the RFI number, who sent it, the manufacturer, date sent, deadline, status, and assigned rep.

  • Results show 10 rows per page.
