# Analytics FAQ

Review answers about how to get started with analytics and common questions about required fields, languages, currencies, calculations, and outliers.

### What is required? <a href="#whatisrequired" id="whatisrequired"></a>

To access Analytics, you will need a license. Contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Representative if you are interested in purchasing Analytics licenses.

In addition, to view analytics, you will need to use a Google Chrome browser that is not in incognito mode.

### What fields should I enter on my events? <a href="#whatfieldsshouldienteronmyevents" id="whatfieldsshouldienteronmyevents"></a>

**Note**: As you begin working in Fairmarkit, your dashboards may not have data. You dashboard will populate the more you use Fairmarkit.

* **Benchmark**: For each line item, you'll want to include a benchmark price. This value may be imported from your purchasing application or calculated based on values in your purchasing application. You can also manually enter a value on an event. If a value isn't available, the value is calculated in Fairmarkit based on the average of bids you've received for an item.

### What is the dashboard currency? <a href="#whatisthedashboardcurrency" id="whatisthedashboardcurrency"></a>

All standard Fairmarkit dashboard are available using USD (United State Dollar). For more information on how multicurrency works in Fairmarkit, see [Multicurrency](/glossary/glossary/multicurrency.md).

If you'd like dashboards to display in other currencies, contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Representative to learn more about purchasing a custom dashboard.

### What is the dashboard language? <a href="#whatisthedashboardlanguage" id="whatisthedashboardlanguage"></a>

All standard Fairmarkit dashboards are available using en-US English (United States) and en-US localization.

If you'd like dashboards translated and localized in another language, contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Representative to learn more about purchasing a custom dashboard.

### How are values calculated? <a href="#howarevaluescalculated" id="howarevaluescalculated"></a>

For information on how values are calculated, see [Analytics calculations.](/buyers/analytics/analytics-calculations.md)

### What if there is an outlier? <a href="#whatifthereisanoutlier" id="whatifthereisanoutlier"></a>

If you notice an outlier or other strange value (e.g., $1 for everything or $999,999), contact <support@fairmarkit.com>. We can remove the value and ensure that it will not impact the calculated values on your dashboards.
