An RFI (Request for Inspection) is raised by the maker/contractor to ask that an inspection be carried out. The RFI and the inspection are two separate stages. First the approver reviews the RFI and accepts or rejects it; once the RFI stage is completed, the inspection stage can be started — by the user assigned that checklist.
The maker/contractor raises the RFI. The approver receives a notification.
The approver taps the notification and reviews the RFI.
To accept: if all the required information is provided, the approver accepts the RFI.
To reject: the approver adds at least one comment about the missing information, then taps Reject. The maker then adds the required information and seeks acceptance again.
Once the RFI stage is completed (the RFI is accepted), the inspection stage can be started.
The inspection stage can be started only by the user who has been assigned the checklist.
A user who is not assigned the checklist — including the person who raised or handled the RFI — cannot start the inspection stage.

The approver. They get a notification, review the RFI, and either accept it or reject it with a comment.
Only once the RFI stage is completed — that is, after the approver has accepted the RFI.
Only the user who has been assigned the checklist. No one else can start it.
No. The RFI user cannot do the inspection stage. Only the user assigned the checklist can — this keeps the two responsibilities separate.
The approver adds at least one comment on what's missing, and the maker adds the required information and seeks acceptance again.
RFI and inspection are separate stages — the inspection can only start after the RFI stage is completed.
The inspection stage can be started only by the user assigned the checklist.
An unassigned user, or the RFI user, cannot start the inspection stage.
Rejecting an RFI requires at least one comment.
