By assigning the side flag function to the rightmost button in a cross-point button row, you can use this button to enable/disable side flags for each of M/E and PGM/PST bank. This setting applies to all  M/E and PGM/PST banks.

When you make this assignment, the SHIFT button (the button assigned to the shift function) is moved one position to the left.

If a macro attachment is set, when you assign the button to the side flag function, the button numbers are offset and therefore when you press the button this does not execute the macro. When you cancel the side flag assignment, the macro can be accessed again.
