## Usage Query activities that are related to an object 1. Optionally, issue a describe call against the object whose activities you want to query, to get a suggestion of the correct SOQL query to use. 2. Issue a SOQL relationship query with a main clause that references the object and an inner clause that references the activity history. For example: SELECT (SELECT ActivityDate, Description FROM OpenActivities) FROM Account WHERE Name Like 'XYZ%' The user interface enforces sharing rules, filtering out related-list items that a user doesn’t have permission to see. The following constraints on users who don’t have the “View All Data” permission help prevent performance issues. - In the main clause of the relationship query, you can reference only one record. For example, you can’t filter on all records where the account name starts with “A.” Instead, you must reference a single account record. SELECT (SELECT ActivityDate, Description FROM OpenActivities ORDER BY ActivityDate ASC NULLS LAST, LastModifiedDate DESC LIMIT 500) FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Acme' LIMIT 1 - In the inner clause of the query, you can’t use WHERE. - In the inner clause of the query, you must specify a limit of 500 or fewer on the number of rows that are returned in the list. - In the inner clause of the query, you must sort on ActivityDate in ascending order and LastModifiedDate in descending order. You can optionally display nulls last. For example: ORDER BY ActivityDate ASC NULLS LAST, LastModifiedDate DESC. #### See Also - [Task](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_task.htm "Represents a business activity such as making a phone call or other to-do items.
