# By Time of Day Group

Once you have decided which to use, Account or Service Number, you can further refine the criteria to group the usage by time of day group (with Stepped Tier Type only). You can combine this option with By Usage Type, By Service Type, and/or By Distance to further refine your rating method.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If you select this option, you must set Time Groups in **Admin Console > BackOffice Settings > Rating** to True.
