# Create a Pega activity

> Create a Pega activity in Dev Studio: add steps, parameters, and pages, and then set up loops, substeps, and When and Jump conditions for the connector.

[An activity](https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/introduction-activities) consists of a set of consecutive steps, each of which carries out a specific method or instruction.

## Create the activity

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new activity">
    In **Dev Studio**, click **Records → Technical → Activity → Create**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the activity">
    Fill in the **Label** and **Identifier** fields, and make sure that the activity is being created in the context of the case. Then click **Create and open**.

    For more information about the case context, see [Create a case with a workflow](/flexi-capture/connectors/pega/pega-add-case-type).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the steps">
    On the **Steps** tab, add the required activity steps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Declare the variables and pages">
    On the **Parameters** tab, specify the required variables. On the **Pages & Classes** tab, specify a page to be used for the activity steps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Loops and substeps

To create a loop, click **Loop** for a step, select a repetition type, select a list of values, and then click **Submit**. The examples in this section use **For each element in value list**.

</Frame>

To create a substep, create a new step and drag it into the step you want the substep to belong to.

## Step conditions

Each step can carry the following conditions and labels:

* **When** – Checked before the step runs. Depending on the result, the step either runs or is skipped.
* **Jump** – Checked after the step. Depending on the result, the activity either advances to the next step or finishes.
* **Label** – Names a step so that another step can jump to it.
