Responders now have the option to decline participation in any project request, including due diligence questionnaires (DDQs), requests for proposals (RFPs), requests for information (RFIs), and other similar inquiries. While there is no option to delete a project, responders who do not wish to participate in or work on a specific project can choose to decline the request.
When a project is declined, it is removed from the responder’s active tasks, and they will no longer be required to engage with that particular project. This article provides an overview of how the decline process works and the outcomes when a project is declined.
How to Decline a Project
- Open the DDQ project request.
- Select the 3 dot/More option
- Select the Decline Project option.
- Provide a clear reason for declining the request.
- Confirm your decision.
What Happens After You Decline
- The project status changes to Declined.
- Both the requestor and responder can see this status.
- The requestor receives an email notification about the decline.
- Decline details—including who declined, when, and why—are visible in the Project Summary tab.
Restart a Declined Project
If circumstances change, responders can restart a previously declined project at any time.
- Go to the Diligence > Project > All tab
- Open the appropriate project
- Hit the Restart Project button in the upper right
