# Set up an Activity

{% hint style="info" %}
Activities are an essential component of the TilliT system and offer a range of capabilities. The full extent of their power is beyond the scope of a brief example, as their potential applications are vast and varied.

For this specific use case, we will build a straightforward activity to illustrate the basic process.
{% endhint %}

When defining an activity, you will setup the What, When and When of that process step.
