Add categories

On your events, you can add Fairmarkit and customer categories. Categories are not required, but they are used to improve your supplier recommendations and standardize reports.

Fairmarkit categories

In the Fairmarkit categories area, you can generate and select from a list of recommended categories to add to your event. Fairmarkit categories are used to improve recommendation quality and standardize reporting.

Note: If you want to add categories manually, click the Add/Edit Fairmarkit Category button to select from the list of Fairmarkit categories. For more information, see Manually add categories.

1. Click Refresh. A list of recommended categories display.

2. Select one or more categories for your event. If you accidentally added a category, deselect the checkbox to remove it.

Customer categories

Select one or more category and subcategory (e.g., IT Hardware and Laptops) combinations to help further define your event. Customer categories and subcategories were defined when your organization was set up in Fairmarkit. They’re made to match your business practices and can be used to organize and track your analytics in a way that makes sense to your organization. Categories can be turned on at the event or line item level; to change your preference, contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Manager.
