Hi Ryan,
Are you allowed access to Report Administration to export a .rptdesign? If you can export your created QBR reports as a starting point for further enhancements. Also, does the SaaS allow access to a Demo or Development database? You would only need Read Only access to a development database to do 90% of report development or customization. If you can export, the out of box reports are always a great starting point for the reports. But remember the out of box .rptdesign files are the only copy. Make a copy of the .rptdesign and rename it before you start digging in for changes.
Another tip; Work Order Details report, woprint.rptdesign, is the best report design for examples of cascading parameters, use of 'where' clause, and format/layout of Maximo/BIRT reports.

Subject: BIRT Report Design/Development - in Maximo SaaS environment
Hi all,
I am working in a SaaS environment for Maximo with my org. I was wondering if any of you are and how you are approaching your BIRT report design and development in Maximo SaaS. Since I am in SaaS, I can't connect BIRT Designer to our Maximo data source. Is there a way to do a mockup of data in Excel or something like it so I can have something that resembles a data source. I've been having to stick with using QBR which is ok for my needs but it is limiting. I'd like use BIRT Designer a lot more than I am currently.
Just wanted to ask if there's anyone out there in a similar situation and what options there might be.
