Bulk Responding to Information Requests

How a company can respond to multiple information requests on a supervisory activity and upload multiple documents simultaneously in a single action.

About this task

Note: Only the company lead can assign IRs. You cannot view or assign IRs until you assign your company contacts. See Assigning Company Contacts for more information.
Note: SA participants, other than the company lead, must send the drafted response for review. Once an IR is sent for review, it is removed from the list of IRs.
Note: Only the Company Lead can review and send IR responses to the agency.

Once the company lead has conducted the review or completed the initial draft response, the IR response can be sent immediately upon completion and need not wait until a set of responses is available.
