Submit-ready Wisconsin ASI forms
in minutes, not days
Wisconsin records sites on the Archaeological Site Inventory (ASI) form, with the Archaeological Report Inventory (ARI) form for reports, both feeding the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Database (WHPD). Sites use the Smithsonian trinomial system. FieldTap Report Builder turns the ASI form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Wisconsin's is Wisconsin ASI forms — a fixed PDF layout Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What Wisconsin SHPO reviewers expect
- ASI forms should be submitted prior to the report to help compile statewide data — FieldTap keeps records export-ready throughout a project.
- Wisconsin uses the Smithsonian trinomial numbering system (state code 47) — FieldTap supports placeholder numbers swapped on export.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Wisconsin CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Wisconsin SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap export the ASI form?
Yes. You import the ASI form once, map fields once, and every record exports a fully populated PDF in the official layout — no retyping.
Does it handle ASI updates and trinomials?
Yes. Revisits export the ASI Update Form, and crews record with placeholder trinomials swapped once Wisconsin assigns the number.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
Can we map a custom Wisconsin 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.
