Why state forms break every other tool

Every state has its own paper site form. Idaho's is Idaho SHPO site forms — a fixed PDF layout Idaho SHPO 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 Idaho SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

1. Import the official PDF
Drop the Idaho SHPO 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 Idaho SHPO 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 Idaho SHPO reviewers expect

  • Idaho SHPO requires at least two clear photographs per resource — FieldTap captures GPS-tagged, dated photos tied to each record automatically.
  • Records flow into ICRIS, Idaho's secure cultural resources system; consistent, reviewer-ready forms keep a project moving.
  • Coordinates must agree across the form, location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
  • Firms working across Idaho and neighboring Great Basin states can reuse the same Report Builder template with state-specific overrides.

Idaho SHPO FAQ

Does FieldTap meet Idaho's photo requirements?

Yes. Idaho SHPO requires at least two clear current photographs per resource; FieldTap captures GPS-tagged, dated, direction-aware photos tied to each record, ready to include in exports.

Can we map our own Idaho site form variant?

Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms, and populates them from the same records.

Does this work offline in remote Idaho?

Yes. Recording, GPS, and photo capture run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.

What about GIS deliverables?

Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.

Can our whole crew record to one project?

Yes. FieldTap supports role-based team review before submission to Idaho SHPO.
