Documentation for JIRA 4.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

JIRA Report plugins use the com.atlassian.configurable.ObjectConfigurable class to simplify the process of requesting configuration parameters from users. These parameters are specified in atlassian-plugin.xml as part of the report module. For example, the time tracking report that ships with JIRA has the following input parameters:

<properties>
    <property>
        <key>versionId</key>
        <name>common.concepts.version</name>
        <description>report.timetracking.version.description</description>
        <type>select</type>
        <values class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.VersionOptionalValuesGenerator"/>
    </property>
    <property>
        <key>sortingOrder</key>
        <name>report.timetracking.sortingorder</name>
        <description>report.timetracking.sortingorder.description</description>
        <type>select</type>
        <values class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.SortingValuesGenerator"/>
    </property>
    <property>
        <key>completedFilter</key>
        <name>report.timetracking.filter</name>
        <description>report.timetracking.filter.description</description>
        <type>select</type>
        <values class="com.atlassian.jira.portal.FilterValuesGenerator"/>
    </property>
</properties>
