Submit-ready Oregon SHPO site forms in minutes, not days

Oregon's SHPO, within Oregon Parks and Recreation's Heritage program, administers archaeological site and isolate records and the OARRA records portal. FieldTap Report Builder turns Oregon's site forms into a one-time setup.

Why state forms break every other tool

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

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

  • Reports with archaeological investigations require the Oregon SHPO Report Cover Page listing newly submitted sites and isolates — FieldTap keeps site and isolate records organized for that summary.
  • Site and isolate records flow into OARRA, Oregon SHPO's records portal; 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.
  • Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Oregon CRM fieldwork; clean records reduce revision cycles.

Oregon SHPO FAQ

What about GIS deliverables?
