How to view pageviews with an eVar
As we know eVars persists. What are the other methods of viewing page views when I don't have prop for same value. Also, at this moment I don't want to change expire of an eVar from visit to Hit.
Thank You.

If you are talking about the Pages / Hits where the eVar is actually set, then you can use the "Instance of eVar" metric.
Example (Visit expiry eVar):
- Page A
- eVar1 set to "X"
- eVar1 Instance triggered
- Page View Triggered
- Page B
- eVar1 maintains value "X", but is not explicitly set
- eVar1 Instance not triggered
- Page View Triggered
- Page C
- eVar1 maintains value "X", but is not explicitly set
- eVar1 Instance not triggered
- Page View Triggered
- Page B
- eVar set to "Y"
- eVar1 Instance triggered
- Page View Triggered
- Page A
- eVar1 maintains value "Y", but is not explicitly set
- eVar1 Instance not triggered
- Page View Triggered
| Page Views | eVar1 Instance | ||||
| Pages | 5 | 2 | |||
| Page A | 2 | 2 | |||
| eVar1 | 2 | 1 | |||
| X | 1 | 1 | |||
| Y | 1 | 0 | |||
| Page B | 2 | 1 | |||
| eVar1 | 2 | 1 | |||
| X | 1 | 0 | |||
| Y | 1 | 1 | |||
| Page C | 1 | 0 | |||
| eVar1 | 1 | 0 | |||
| X | 1 | 0 |
As you can see, the Instance is available where the eVar is actually set... even if the value is maintained through multiple Page Views
