Arguments are as similar as variables. But Arguments are used to pass the data from one
project to another project. This also stores the data as collection and can be passed
through project using the Invoke workflow activity. In Robility Designer, we support large
types ranging from generic value, text, number, data table, time, and date, UiElements to
any .Net variable type.
