Unspecified values SDK

Hello,

 

got a question related to one of evars, I am using SDK. What I can see is that evar responsible for login status - i.e. ways how users logged in to the app - shows following:

 

1. Majority of the Visits with "Unsepcified" value, however
2. Visits in total do not sum to total up and "Unspecified" seems to not to be counted

The thing is that this evar is fired with all possible action and screen in the app. Which excludes a cause described as "event fires without a conversion variable".

I am wondering how to interpret this kind of case? especially that it also shows up when using Unique Visitors

 

Looking forward to hearing your opinions

Rafal

Hello @trochira 

a) "Unspecified" occurs when the value for that evar was not sent in the server call or the value persists. Along with visits it is showing the number of visits in which the value was not sent.

b) Sum of line items will not match the overall total given at the top because of deduplication i.e. if the values are sent in the same visit than that visit will be considered as 1 but when you check it in line items than it will be 1 for each value line item. It is not recommended to sum the individual line items and compare with the total.
