When you are creating a Journey, you will see several tabs. The Visibility tab is where you can define simple or complex rules to control when the new Journey is to be shown or hidden from end users of the target Site. You can define individual rules based on the URL or on the page element.

1. Click on the + Add new Rule button

2. Select the URL Rule and the logic in the drop-down list (see the screenshots below) and enter the URL in the text field

Equals: the text in the URL must be exactly as written into the rule
Does not equal: the text in the URL is different from the exact terms written into the rule
Contains: the text in the URL must contain the text written into the rule, in its entirety or partially
Does not Contain: the text in the URL does not contain the text, written in full or partially, which is specified in the rule

Browser language rule

Journeys can be set as visible/invisible based on the browser language when specified which language is/is not the browser language.

Sometimes a simple Rule containing a single URL or a single page element is enough for your purpose. If not, then you can create additional URL or Element Rules. When defining multiple component Rules, remember to select the Rule Condition, by selecting the applicable button on the top right.

All: All the component Rules must be True in order for the Visibility Rule to be applied and the Journey shown or hidden.
Any: The Visibility Rule is applied, and the Journey shown or hidden, if any one of the component Rules is True.

NOTE: The Visibility tab of the dialog shows you the result of the currently defined Visibility Rule(s): the Journey will be shown or hidden in the list of Journeys shown to end users.
