Use case
A Dictionary Map is a crucial mapper offered by Alumio to perform multiple mapping transformations on fields where the same comparator is used.
A viable example of Dictionary Map will be mapping a range of numbers to specific values. For instance, if you retrieve delivery dates between the days of 0 to 30, this mapper can be deployed to map them specifically for the values of 5, 8, 18, and 30.
