#### Navigate to PSE Site Activities

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu in the top navigation bar and click **PSE Site Activities**.
{% endstep %}

#### Click Add

On the PSE Site Activities list page, click the **Add** button to open the General Information form.

#### Select a site or organization

Select the **Site or organization** where the PSE change effort is taking place. Use the search field to find an existing site or add a new one. You may also select an organization that includes multiple sites, such as a school district or grocery chain; in that case, report only on PSE work carried out at the organization level, and report PSE work at each governed site on a site-by-site basis.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter a project name or description

Optionally, enter a short name or description for this PSE effort in the **PSE project or description** field. Choose something that clearly identifies the effort.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a project

Select the **Project name** associated with this activity. The available projects are configured by your organization.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a PSE setting

Select the **PSE setting** that describes the type of environment where the change is taking place. If your PSE work at this site involves more than one setting, report each as a separate PSE Site Activity. If none of the options fit, choose an **Other** setting and describe it in the **PSE setting other** field, which is then required. See [Choose a Setting for a PSE Site Activity](/engage/pse-site-activities/choose-a-setting.md) for help selecting the right option.
{% endstep %}
