In most cases it is more productive to input your data with the help of the Clipboard. Use your favourite spreadsheet application, input your data there and copy it onto the Clipboard, then go to Mimosa and paste it from the Clipboard there.

2. Paint the above area and select Edit|Copy (or equivalent) to copy it onto the Clipboard.

5. Go to the spreadsheet program, input then the basic information of the following 7 courses:
6. Paint the above area and select Edit|Copy (or equivalent) to copy it onto the Clipboard.
7. Go to Mimosa and activate Courses view (click the button on top of the screen).
8. Select Edit|Paste from the Clipboard|1 Codes, names, categories and MAX - the list of 7 courses should now appear.
9. To add also the components to courses via Clipboard, go to the spreadsheet program and input the following table:
10. Paint the above area and select Edit|Copy (or equivalent) to copy it onto the Clipboard.
11. Select (in Courses view) Edit|Paste from the Clipboard|2 Replace collections to add components to the courses.
After this operation, you should have 9 components and 7 courses. Steps 9-11 are often easier to perform in Courses window, since the application checks that the components to be added to courses are valid in cases when lectures already have been assigned into timetables.
