The vast majority of Ignition functions expect jython lists, dictionaries, or lists of dictionaries. Where that isn't true, the documentation is pretty good at describing and/or linking to suitable docs. If you go outside the documented functions, you may need to review Ignition's javadocs.

Without more detail about the problem you are having, it will be difficult to be more specific. Please share more.
