Remove unspecified permanently

How do we remove unspecified completely from the reports?

Apart from unchecking 'include unspecified' in the report?

You "remove" it completely by ensuring that each and every hit has a value for that dimension, whether set in the beacon or persisted from previous beacons.

On the other hand, if you mean that you simply don't want to see it in your report, i.e. hide it, then in your Freeform table, click the filter icon for your dimension, and uncheck the "Show unspecified" checkbox.

We have made sure that each and every hit has a value for that dimension, whether set in the beacon or persisted from previous beacons. But still we see unspecified and when we break it with custom link it shows the value ADBINTERNAL:Lifecycle

Yes, that sounds correct. That would be because your eVar isn't being set with some hits (both set in the hit nor persisted), so AA reports "Unspecified" in those cases.

If you expect your eVar to have a value with every hit, then you should check your implementation for correctness.


At report suite level all eVars are set to expire after visit.

Code level, developer has said it's set at every hit but still we find unspecified but still will verify again.
