[Evergreen-general] Are you using Hold Groups?

I use this feature all the time. I like it because it makes everything more fair to the patrons by being randomized :)

Hold Groups are specialized User Buckets that allow you to save a group of users that you want to be able to place holds for all at once. For example, you could have a book club hold group that allows you to place each month's selection on hold for all members at once instead of one patron at a time. Or a list of patrons who want the next James Patterson book placed on hold as soon as it is available.

 Good morning - 
My library will begin offering Hold Groups to patrons in October. Are those of you who already use Hold Groups happy with how it works? 
Thank you.
