Deactivating a Learner's ability to Use the Scrub Bar to Advance 

NOTE: Programming changes made through JavaScript and CSS are not supported by the dominKnow support team.  

In some cases, your organization may have strict usage and not allow users to scrub past audio or video.

While dominKnow | ONE's theme designer is quite flexible, this is not currently an option. However, you can take advantage of the "Add CSS" option in the Theme Designer to make these types of changes. 

Adding CS to a Theme

Steps:

  1. Edit your desired theme.
  2. Select Add CSS.
    1. NOTE: If you do not see this option, then it has been disabled by your admin for your user role. There are a variety of permission settings that an Admin (with the right permissions) can turn on and off. They will need to turn this option on to enable you to add CSS to a theme.
  3. Paste in the CSS.
    1. NOTE: Do NOT include opening and closing tags in your code. The code will automatically be put in to load the CSS into the header section of the HTML.
  4. Select OK.
  5. Select Save.
  6. Test your changes.
