   • (On Windows) As an administrator, navigate to the <installationDirectory>\truesightpserver\bin folder
   • (On Linux) As a non-root user, navigate to the<installationDirectory>/truesightpserver/bin folder
2. Run the tssh properties list command and check the list contains the property show.footer.console
3. Run tssh properties set show.footer.console true
4. Run tssh properties reload
   This reloads the updated footer property.

To edit the footer content

1. From the TrueSight Presentation Server command prompt, 
   
   • (On Windows) As an administrator, navigate to the truesightpserver\modules\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes folder
     
   • (On Linux) As a non-root user, navigate to the truesightpserver/modules/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes folder
2. Edit the following i18N files using a text editor based on your locale requirement:
   
   • English: en.json
   • German: de.json
   • Chinese: zh.json
     
     
   Default Footer text (English)

   "core.footer.line1": "This is a customizable TrueSight console footer.",
   "core.footer.line2": "To customize the footer text, see the Customizing TrueSight console footer topic in the online documentation."

   Notes

   - Do not modify or remove the keys core.footer.line1 and core.footer.line2.

   - If the text length exceeds the width of the page, the text beyond the view is hidden with an ellipsis.

   - If you want to insert a \ (backward slash) or display the double-quotes in the footer, do the following:

   - For inserting a \ character, you must insert the \ twice. For example, to display C:\Program Files in the footer, you must type it as C:\\Program Files. The footer text is displayed as C:\Program Files.

   - For inserting the double-quotes character, you must insert a single \ character before the double-quotes. For example, to display A quick brown fox within quotes, you must type the text as \"A quick brown fox.\" The text is displayed as "A quick brown fox."
