Set the Display Rules based on the following conditions:

URL
URL Hostname
URL Path
URL Parameter
URL Hash
Other Element on Page
Window variable
Element CSS Selector/JQuery

Note

For more information on the Display Rule conditions, see Visibility and Display Rule Conditions.

Adding Display Rules for a Smart Tip Collection

Click the ADVANCED OPTIONS tab.
Under the Display Rules section, click + Add Rule to set the desired conditions.

Note
