On my site users are able to use filters to filter products by color, size, price etc...

Currently, each time a user checks a filter, the page reloads and an evar is set with the value of the filter.

For example : evar10 = `color`(if the user filtered by color) or evar10=`size` (if the user filtered by size)

 

The evar allocation is original (first) and expiration is set to visit.

 

Now, I am not sure if this implementation meets my needs.

I want to be able to know how many page views loaded with evar10 set to `size`as opposed to `color``.

There are no events fired along with the evar.

 

If a user, in the same session, activates multiple filters, for example `color`, then `size`...is that correct that, because of the evar allocation set to original, the second filter selected would NOT show in my reports?

It depends on what you're using as your success event. If someone uses colour, then size, then places an order, if your attribution is first touch and your success event is orders, then yes, only colour would be given credit. But if you're using a metric such as "page views" or the evar instances metric, you would see both of them, because each page view has a different value, so each value would get credit for the page it was seen on. It's the same case for the evar instances metric. That tells you the number of times the evar fired, so it will show you that for each of the values.
