# 2.5.16 How to bulk-assign RFI Initiators across checklists?

Checklist tab → select multiple checklists → Assign → RFI Initiator: add the same RFI-raising users to many checklists at once. Only current changes are updated.

### Overview

From a project's **Checklist** tab you can **select several checklists** and add the same **RFI Initiators** — the people who **raise the RFI** (Request for Inspection) — to all of them in one action.

### 🧭 How to use

1.  Open the **project** → **Checklist** tab.
    
2.  **Select multiple checklists** (tick the ones you want).
    
3.  Click **Assign** → **RFI Initiator** — a **side drawer** opens.
    
4.  Select the **users** to add as **RFI Initiators.**
    
5.  **Apply.**
    

### ❓ FAQ

### What can an RFI Initiator do?

An RFI Initiator can **raise the RFI (Request for Inspection)** for the selected checklists.

### Will this remove the RFI Initiators I already added?

No. A bulk change applies **only what you set now** — the RFI Initiators already on those checklists **stay unchanged.**

### Is assigning RFI Initiators the same as assigning Checkers?

No — they are **separate actions.** Use **Assign → RFI Initiator** for the people who raise the RFI, and **Assign → Checker** for the people who inspect.

### Do I set RFI Initiators and approvers together?

No. RFI Initiators are set through **Assign → RFI Initiator;** approvers are set through **Assign → Assign Approver.**

### 💡 Good to know

-   **RFI Initiators** are the people who **raise the RFI** so an inspection can be reviewed.
    
-   The RFI option is only relevant for checklists whose **RFI is switched on.**
    
-   **Checkers** and **approvers** are assigned through their **own** Assign options.
