This is indeed a very common need, and which we do want to address.
Unfortunately, we have not yet had the capacity to fully concentrate
on it, and determine what existing solutions would work best, nor a
roadmap for integration of such functionality with DHIS2
installations, as was recently discussed on this list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dhis2-devs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg08048.html

We require some more thought on how to prioritize and move forward on
this issue in conjunction to the other blueprints:

Sorry to not be more helpful than this for the time being - we would
appreciate continuing discussion on the issue.
