Yes, that is what parameters are for. You then access them as ${PARAM} in  your 
various build steps. These also become environment variables on your build 
machine.

Subject: Jenkins Python API Query

Hello Everyone !

I am fairly new to Jenkins and off late have started playing with Python API 
where I am able to run builds remotely.

I want to know if I can create a new job with choice of options such as "branch 
to build", "artifacts to backup", "Polling" etc so that I can create 
jobs/builds based on these parameters when and where needed. There is something 
in configure job page as "This build is parameterized" and then it offer a 
"String Parameter" where I can define some variable but I am kind of unsure if 
this approach is right or not.

Please advise and provide links if this has already been done using any other 
way.

Regards
AB
