Submit-ready North Dakota NDCRS site forms
in minutes, not days
North Dakota records resources on NDCRS (North Dakota Cultural Resource Survey) site forms — Archaeological, Architectural, and Historical — managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND), which assigns SITS trinomial numbers (state code 32). FieldTap Report Builder turns the Archaeological form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. North Dakota's is North Dakota NDCRS site forms — a fixed PDF layout ND 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 ND SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What ND SHPO reviewers expect
- NDCRS forms are submitted as PDFs with corresponding GIS shapefiles uploaded to the ND SHPO FTP site — FieldTap produces both from one record.
- North Dakota uses the SITS trinomial system (state code 32), assigned by SHSND — FieldTap supports placeholder numbers swapped on export.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, map, and shapefile — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most North Dakota CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
North Dakota SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap export the NDCRS form and shapefiles?
Yes. You import the NDCRS Archaeological form once, and every record exports a fully populated PDF plus the matching shapefile — both ready for the ND SHPO FTP submission.
Does FieldTap handle SITS numbering?
Yes. Crews record with placeholder numbers; once SHSND assigns the SITS number you update the record and exports refresh.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
Can we map a custom ND form?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
