# Creating 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.
To create a new activity, do the following:
1. In **Dev Studio**, click **Records → Technical → Activity** **→** **Create**.
2. Fill in the **Label** and **Identifier** fields and make sure that the activity is being created in the context of the case (for more details, see [Creating a case with a workflow](/flexi-capture/connectors/pega/pega-add-case-type)). Next, click **Create and open**.
3. On the **Steps** tab that, add the required activity steps.
4. On the **Parameters** tab, specify the required variables. On the **Pages & Classes** tab, specify a page to be used for the activity steps.
## Setting up activity steps
To configure your activity, you need to create loops and substeps.
To create a loop, click **Loop** for a step and select a repetition type (in our example, **For each element in value list**) and a list of values. Click **Submit**.
To create a substep, create a new step and drag it into the step for which the substep is being created.
When setting up the activity, you will also need to set up the following:
* The **When** condition – This condition is checked before a step is carried out. Depending on the result, the step is either carried out or skipped.
* The **Jump** condition – This condition is checked after a step. Depending on the result, the activity can either advance to the next step or finish.
* **Label** specifies a step to which you can go from another step.
