Create an activity and add it to your workflow

Add a Capture Data utility step to your Pega case workflow and create the CaptureData activity with the pages, classes, parameters, and local variables.

The activity runs as a utility step in your case life cycle. It calls the connector function and applies the results to the case.

5. Open the process flow

   Click Records → Process → Flow to open the list of flows, and then double-click the Process_Flow flow for the case type you created earlier.

   
6. Replace the step with a Utility step

   Replace the Change stage step with a Utility step.

   
7. Create the activity from the Utility step

   2. Change the name of the item to Capture Data.
