Once the Activity Template is available, users can start an activity anytime within the operation cycle. This function is available in the UI header.

\
To start an activity, click the *Create* button then;

1. Select ***Start Activity*** in the selection list
2. Select the ***Asset*** where the activity will be used or executed
3. Select the ***Running Order*** in the order list
4. Select the appropriate ***Activity*** to trigger. Note that the activity selection list is filtered and only shows activities defined for the selected asset
5. Click ***Confirm*** to finalise the selection

**Note:**

For users to start any activities, a pre-requisite step of activity definition should be completed first by the admin.

Here, the admin builds the activity and the required items that the user needs to perform. For the details on how to prepare please check the [Activity Templates](/tillit/knowledge-base/setting-up-tillit/activity-templates.md) article.
