Next, you need to create a new activity and add it to your workflow. 1. In **Dev Studio**, open the case type that you created earlier. 2. On the **Workflow** tab, click **Add life cycle**. 3. Create a first stage with a *Collect Information* step. This step will open the dialog box where files can be added. Screenshot of the Workflow tab in Pega Dev Studio showing the case life cycle with a single Collect Information stage that contains a Collect Information step. 4. Create a *Process* stage, add any step to this stage (e.g. *Change stage*), and click **Save**. Screenshot of the Workflow tab in Pega Dev Studio showing the case life cycle with a Collect Information stage and a Process stage that contains a Change stage step. 5. Next, click **Records → Process → Flow** to open the list of flows and double-click the *Process\_Flow* flow for the case type that you created earlier. Screenshot of the Flow instances list in Pega Dev Studio showing the pyStartCase, Process_Flow, and CollectInformation_Flow flows for the case type. 6. Replace the *Change stage* step with a *Utility* step. Screenshot of the Process_Flow diagram in Pega Dev Studio showing the shape menu with Utility selected and the resulting flow with a Utility shape between the Start and End nodes. 7. Double-click the **Utility** item to open its properties. Change the name of the item to *Capture Data.* In the **Rule** field, type *CaptureData* to create a new activity with this name and click the icon next to this field. Screenshot of the Utility step properties in Pega Dev Studio showing the name set to Capture Data, the rule type Activity selected, and CaptureData entered in the Rule field. 8. In the window that opens, click **Create and open**. 9. On the **Pages & Classes** tab, create the following three objects: | **Page name** | **Class** | | -------------- | -------------------- | | Case | Work- | | Attachment | Data-WorkAttach-File | | AttachmentInfo | Data-WorkAttach-File | Screenshot of the Pages & Classes tab of the CaptureData activity in Pega Dev Studio showing the Case, Attachment, and AttachmentInfo pages mapped to the Work- and Data-WorkAttach-File classes. 10. On the **Parameters** tab, create the following three parameters: | **Name** | **Data type** | | ------------- | ------------- | | CaseId | String | | jsonData | String | | executionMode | String | Screenshot of the Parameters tab of the CaptureData activity in Pega Dev Studio showing the CaseId, jsonData, and executionMode String parameters. 11. Create the following three local variables: | **Name** | **Data type** | | ----------- | ------------- | | LinkedRefTo | String | | Id | String | | Index | Integer | Screenshot of the local variables section of the CaptureData activity in Pega Dev Studio showing the LinkedRefTo, Id, and Index variables with their String and Integer data types.
