How to ignore a line of text from triggering notificatons

I am monitoring a jobs board with a single line of text alternating between two strings. I don’t care about that line. I am already focused on the largest section that can contain job postings (if I go narrower, I won’t see updates when a job is posted). Without any conditions, I get a notification every few seconds since that one line changes every few seconds, even though new jobs are not being inserted into the table.

How can I tell Distill that I don’t care about the first line of text in this container, or how can I tell it not to notify me if the only thing that changes is either of those two strings?

Can you share a few screenshots to show the kind of changes that need to be ignored? In general, there could be two potential ways to solve this:

  1. Using visual selector to deselect element containing text. This will work only if that element doesn’t contain text that you need to monitor.
  2. Using conditions to ignore specific kind of changes. This is possible if we can figure out a specific pattern of changes.
