What's the different between Instances and Instances(Particapation) in Data Warehouse

I'm using the data warehouse in Adobe Analytics tools to export some data

And I can see there is 2 different instances for a eVar

 

What's the different between them?

The Instance returns the number of hits when the variable was set with a value (the beacon included eVar1=value).

The Participation metric presumably returns the number of hits when the variable was either set or the previously set value was persisted according to the eVar settings.

I doubt the participation here refers to the attribution model as the participation should be configured with the date range the hits are processed within (e.g. Visit, Visitor), but the DW does not point to this at all.

It seems the current documentation does not have any reference to the participation type of metrics available in the DW template builder.

Hi @debbynpl,

 

I think "Participation" is the attribution model. But could you please elaborate about what information are you stocking in your eVar1 ?
