Do duplicate Event ID serialization event remove hits in data feed?

[David_Jerome]

Hi There,

I am looking to implement Event ID serialization on my website however I am curious at how Event ID serializations works in the data feeds and other data?

For example if I create a hit that contains a hit with the following:

Dimension Value

Page	Homepage
Evar20	ABC123
Serialized Event	DEF456

Which the visitor later returns to with a different evar20:

Dimension Value

Page	Homepage
Evar20	ASD432
Serialized Event	DEF456

Would the entirety of the second hit be ignored (meaning the updated evar would not be seen) or just the serialized event?

Thanks

For serialized events only the event value is ignored. Other attributes in the hit are counted. This is not clearly documented, however, this is how I have seen the hits with duplicate events are processed.
