Submit-ready New York CRIS site forms
in minutes, not days
New York's SHPO (within the Division for Historic Preservation) manages cultural resources through CRIS (Cultural Resource Information System), its online data and GIS tool with 1.5M+ pages of records, including an online archaeological site form. FieldTap keeps your field records organized and export-ready to feed CRIS.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. New York's is New York CRIS site forms — a fixed PDF layout NY 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.
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 NY SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What NY SHPO reviewers expect
- SHPO prefers as many CRIS fields completed as applicable to keep the inventory searchable — FieldTap captures that detail in the field so entry is complete and consistent.
- CRIS is the online system of record; FieldTap keeps your records and GPS-tagged photos organized so online entry is fast.
- 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 New York CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.

How does FieldTap fit New York's CRIS workflow?
