Submit-ready New Mexico LA site records
in minutes, not days
New Mexico site documentation flows into NMCRIS through the Archaeological Records Management Section (ARMS), with each site carrying an LA (Laboratory of Anthropology) number and record. FieldTap Report Builder turns the LA site record into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. New Mexico's is New Mexico LA site records — a fixed PDF layout 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.
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 HPD PDF for the life of your firm.

What HPD reviewers expect
- LA numbers are assigned by ARMS — FieldTap supports placeholder numbers in the field that are swapped on export once the official LA number is issued.
- NMCRIS submissions follow the ARMS NMCRIS User's Guide; consistent, reviewer-ready records are what keep a project moving.
- UTM coordinates and USGS quad references must agree across the record, location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most New Mexico CRM fieldwork; clean LA records reduce revision cycles.
New Mexico SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap handle the LA-number workflow?
Yes. Crews record with placeholder site numbers, and once ARMS assigns the official LA number you update the record — exports refresh automatically.
Can we map our own LA site record variant?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms or project-specific addenda, and populates them from the same records.
Does this work offline in remote New Mexico?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photo capture run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
What about GIS deliverables for NMCRIS?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always match.
Can our whole crew record to one project?
Yes. FieldTap supports role-based team review — crew record, a PI approves before submission.
