Maps

Maps are used to save data, which unlike collections and lists are not organized by order but by a key. Any data type can be put into a map, including business objects (Business object is an entity in an information system bearing some information. In Valuemation, all Valuemation objects are called "business objects"). In the API, maps are used to pass parameters to subworkflows.
