Submit-ready Georgia archaeological site forms in minutes, not days

Georgia's archaeological records live in the Georgia Archaeological Site File (GASF) at the University of Georgia, with data compiled by the Historic Preservation Division and served through GNAHRGIS. FieldTap Report Builder turns the site form into a one-time setup.

Why state forms break every other tool

Every state has its own paper site form. Georgia's is Georgia archaeological site forms — a fixed PDF layout Georgia HPD expects to receive exactly as published. Generic field tools give you two bad options: rebuild the form by hand in their form builder (and still retype results into the official PDF), or pay for a professional services engagement to digitize each form.

Either way, every revision the agency publishes restarts the cycle. CRM firms end up paying for software and still doing the typing.

FieldTap Report Builder

Import once. Map once. Done forever.

Report Builder is the only feature on the market that lets a CRM firm digitize a state's official PDF form themselves — no professional-services bill, no rebuilding the form by hand. Map the fields once and every record auto-exports a submit-ready Georgia HPD PDF for the life of your firm.

1. Import the official PDF
Drop the Georgia HPD site forms into Report Builder. No rebuilding the form by hand, no professional services engagement.
2. Drag-map fields once
Drag your FieldTap fields onto the PDF. Locations, attributes, photos, dates — once they are mapped, they auto-fill for every record going forward.
3. Auto-export forever
Every record in your project exports a fully-populated, submit-ready PDF in the official Georgia HPD layout. No retyping. No reformatting.
4. Update when the agency does
When the agency revises the form, re-import the new PDF and remap any changed fields. Your records keep working.

What Georgia HPD reviewers expect

  • Site records are curated by the Georgia Archaeological Site File at UGA and made available through GNAHRGIS — FieldTap exports records ready for that submission.
  • Site location data is confidential and shared only with registered professionals — FieldTap keeps coordinates in your project.
  • Coordinates must agree across the form, location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
  • Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Georgia CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
