Q: Does loading Specialty Favorites affect how favorites are populated for new users?

Yes. In v11, if you have no favorites but your specialty does, the first time you add a favorite, it takes in all of the favorites from the specialty and loads them into your personal "My Favorites" and then adds the one favorite you had selected. You can reference KB article 3621, p. 5 to see exactly how it works with screenshots. This should be a benefit to the provider because the specialty favorites should be populated with items that they would use frequently.
