Hi Hotpepr1 -
The "Contractor RFIs" area is typically used by General Contractors to give access to Subcontractors to ask questions. You can then process a valid "Contractor RFI" into a live, project RFI.
Depending on your desired workflow, you may simply use the RFI module and choose to hide the Contractor RFI module.
Also take a look at the Help documentation around RFI's; there's a video that walks you through the RFI process. Please do let us know if there's something that isn't working for you or that you're not able to figure out.
Thanks for the question!
