Fairmarkit categories

Fairmarkit provides a list of predefined categories that you can add to your events. While working on a draft request for quote event, Fairmarkit can recommend categories for your event. You can also manually add categories. By adding Fairmarkit categories, you can help to improve the quality of your supplier recommendations and help to standardize reporting for your events.

Fairmarkit categories list

You can view the categories added and recommended for your event in the Fairmarkit categories area on the Add Request for Quotes screen. For each category, you can review the following information:

• Selected: Selected categories are highlighed blue with a selected check box.

• Category: Displays the full category path (e.g., Facilities Maintenance & Services > Facilities Maintenance Goods > Office Supplies)

• Label: Displays a label indicating if the category was Recommended or manually added (Manual).

• Confidence: For recommended categories, displays the likelihood that the suggested category matches the goods and/or services for your event. The confidence score is a value of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most likely to be a match for your event.

Category recommendations

Using the information you've entered for your event, Fairmarkit can predict and recommend categories for your event. If your event was created via integration or created at an earlier date and reopened, suggested categories will be automatically displayed in the Fairmarkit categories area. If you cloned an event, only categories that were manually added to the original event are cloned.

Refresh recommendations

If you're creating a new event or have updated your event title or line items, you will need to click Refresh to update your category recommendations. This option isn't available until you've entered a Title or a line item. Once refreshed, the top four recommended categories are displayed ordered from highest to lowest confidence of a match.

Warning: If you've already selected categories and refresh your recommendations, any manually added categories are saved, but any previously selected recommended categories are removed.
