Purpose/Function
Extract the current related Activity for an Object. The different arguments let you define what "current" means. With just the required arg2, this symbolic will display an "active" Activity that has a start date before today and an end date after today. If no Activity is found, it will display a "future" activity with a start date after today. If there are no "future" Activities, it will display a "past" Activity that has a closing date of less than 100 days before today.
You can also bring back the most current Activity with a specific general flag.
This symbolic is especially useful for the Exhibition and Loan Activities. For example, you could display the current exhibition that an object is, will be, or has been displayed in.
