To learn more about how to monitor activity, view the Knowledge Base article: [General Contractors | How to view Bidding Activity on your Posted Projects](https://knowledgebase.planhub.com/knowledge/general-contractors-how-to-view-bidding-activity-on-your-posted-projects?hsLang=en)

**Step 6:** Click on the **RFI Center** tab to manage questions from subcontractors and suppliers. You can review questions, download attachments, and reply directly from this page.

**Step 7:** Click **Reply** on a message to respond to an RFI and enter your answer in the pop-up window, upload any supporting documents, and choose to make your response **private** (just for the company requesting the information) or **public** (visible to all bidders if all bidders will also require this information).

![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/8c1d3089-2724-48b1-8bab-48bc216403c2/66ac34cc-378b-4d35-9a53-83317ed32d9b/images/a9978228-50d4-437f-af25-7f597e7a4e9c.png)
