If you need to match the "Instance" that you get in Adobe, then yes, the only way is to use the actual "instance event" for the dimension...   In your raw data, think of the "evar1" value as what is sent to the Adobe server, and the post_evar1 as the final result of the value (after processing rules...

Ah, good call.. try getting off VPN if you are on it, try with another computer or device, or check with your phone?   If it is your company blocking it, your IT department should be able to adjust the firewall rules to let it through.

You're welcome.   Just for reference, I checked my data, I have about 15 instances of "None" being set to my Marketing Channels (in October) too (I checked my Marketing Channel against the Marketing Channel Instance (where the marketing channel is being set).     Technically, I am not overly concer...

Technically, the non-post version would be instances... but not necessarily all instances... instances that are set with processing rules will show only in the post_eVar value.   Basically, the post values are instances and persistence... but a scenario with a post value and not a regular value may ...

Hi, the posted URL is working for me:       I wonder if Adobe is doing some server maintenance and resources are sporadically available?

Actually, IF the eVar is populated by Processing Rules (i.e. Mobile Apps using context variables and processing rules), it won't show in the eVar column, but will still trigger the eVarX Instance...  if you need to get the instances, you should use the metric, not either of the dimension columns.......

Since you are asking a lot about persistence, and these seem very interconnected to something you are trying to do right now, I think this should also be merged into the other conversation.

I do not believe you can really figure this out vis SQL alone...   Even checking if the post and non-post version of the values are set won't be an indication of this... Post Processing or VISTA rules could be setting the value of the eVar regardless of the attribution. It is possible that you might...

In the Raw Data, the even if you use the Post_eVar value, there is an instance metric for each eVar that can be used to get the instance of the eVar being set:   Example: Page 1 eVar1 set to "A"Instance of eVar1 is triggeredRaw Data eVar1 = "A"post_eVar1 = "A"events_list, somewhere in the list of ev...

Custom Links are basically a special reserved prop, so they have Hit Level attribution only. There is no Click Attribution.   If you need click data to be retained, you can create a custom eVar that is set on some or all of your clicks... but not set on page views... but keep in mind that if you are...
