How does this blueprint work?
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/dates-in-analytics
Is there a documentation to that effect? I am thinking this blue print can
help me achieve the following:

1. Capture a date when an incentive was paid on a particular indicator, and
display this date on a report. For example, an indicator for August could
have an incentive paid in October.

2. Use the date when an incentive was paid in the report to determine which
values to display on the report. For example, I may want to make sure once
a date has been captured, certain values have to be displayed on a report.

Regards,

Moses
