Submit-ready Washington DAHP site forms in minutes, not days

Washington's Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) requires the exclusive use of its Archaeological Site Inventory Forms, submitted through WISAARD. FieldTap Report Builder turns that form into a one-time setup so every record exports ready to upload.

Why state forms break every other tool

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

1. Import the official PDF
Drop the DAHP 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 DAHP 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 DAHP reviewers expect

  • DAHP requires the exclusive use of its Archaeology Site Forms for all survey projects — FieldTap exports records in that layout so nothing has to be retyped into WISAARD.
  • Site forms, survey reports, and maps are submitted through WISAARD; FieldTap produces the populated forms and the GIS data those uploads need.
  • Coordinates must agree across the site form, the location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
  • Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Washington CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.

Washington SHPO FAQ

Does FieldTap work with WISAARD?

FieldTap produces the submit-ready DAHP site forms and GIS data you upload into WISAARD. You record once in the field instead of re-keying field notes into the form and the system.

Can we map our own DAHP site form variant?

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 photo capture 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 — crew record, a PI approves before submission to DAHP.
