Google Analytics screen views has value while sessions is zero

I am creating a custom report for Behavior -> screens Report. I want to track the Screen views and sessions. I found out that for some screens, the screen has screen views and unique screen views, but the sessions value is zero.

case

Why does this happen? and does it make sense? I want to track the screen views per session and unique screen views per session.

This is because the sessions metric is only incremented once per session on the first hit of the session. I'm going to guess that the screen views where sessions is 0 are screens where the user cannot start the session with.

For your reporting needs, the unique screen views is incremented once per screen per session, thus if you want to know how many sessions viewed a particular screen, you can use that metric.
