With Fairmarkit, you can assign categories to your events. Categories and subcategories are 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.
Category levels
With categories, you can create a category (L1 Category) and then up to three levels of subcategories (L2 Category - L4 Category). The first two level of categories will be visible in Fairmarkit, and the full category list are used to help improve your supplier recommendations.
Example:
|
L1 Category > |
L2 Category > |
L3 Category > |
L4 Category |
|
Supplies > |
Coffee > |
Whole bean> |
Dark roast |
