Submit-ready Kansas site records in minutes, not days

Kansas's SHPO at the Kansas Historical Society administers the Kansas Historic Resources Inventory (KHRI) and records archaeological sites, with a USGS 7.5' map showing each site's location required. FieldTap keeps your field records organized and export-ready for that submission.

Why state forms break every other tool

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

1. Import the official PDF
Drop the Kansas SHPO site records 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 Kansas 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 Kansas SHPO reviewers expect

  • A USGS 7.5' map portion showing each site's location is required — FieldTap captures the location map and GPS-tagged photos tied to each record.
  • Survey forms are entered into the KHRI; once SHPO staff approve, the file becomes available — FieldTap exports records ready for that entry.
  • Coordinates must agree across the record, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
  • Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Kansas CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.

Kansas SHPO FAQ

How does FieldTap fit Kansas's KHRI workflow?

FieldTap is where you record sites in the field. Every record carries location, attributes, the USGS map reference, and GPS-tagged photos, organized and exportable, so KHRI entry is fast instead of a re-keying exercise.

Can we map a Kansas site form PDF?

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

Does this work offline?

Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos 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.
