In general, Clipboard is a temporary storage area for text and graphics that you are copying or moving from one place to another; Clipboard is a common holding area for all Windows applications. Mimosa is a true windows application, which can use this useful feature extensively and bi-directionally. Note that it is also possible to import data into Mimosa easily via Text files.
For instance, you can use your spreadsheet application in several ways with Mimosa and increase your productivity. Spreadsheet applications allow you to format your data very easily in several ways, and you can generate a test file or use the sample file(s) that come along with Mimosa.
1. In your spreadsheet program, input the following table:
2. Paint the above area and select Edit|Copy (or equivalent) to copy it onto the Clipboard.
3. Go to Mimosa and select Window|4 Components to activate Components window.
4. Select Edit|Paste from the Clipboard - 9 new components should appear.
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 select Window|3 Courses to activate Courses window.
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 window) 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.
Perhaps the easiest way to see how Clipboard can help your work is to select Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard command in Mimosa and then invoke your spreadsheet application. Use the Edit|Paste from the Clipboard command and see how the data will be transmitted via the Clipboard.
Click [Ctrl+L] to view and edit the content of the Clipboard in a table format.
It is a good practice to have these both applications on your desktop simultaneously so that you can transmit data back and forth between those applications. Please note that some spreadsheet applications limit your matrix to 255 columns, and that the Clipboard capacity of Mimosa is 64 kilobytes.
If you want to overcome the 64 kilobytes size limit, you can either copy only a subset of the data onto the Clipboard or store the Clipboard content to a text file, by selecting the appropriate text file type in Options|Default Clipboard Target.
With the help of the Clipboard you can:
Note also that using the Clipboard
See example about data import with Clipboard here.
The Clipboard format supports a TAB-limited text or table type content, compatible with all all windows applications. This means that each field on a single line is separated by a TAB character (ASCII=9) and each line ends with the CRLF character combination (ASCII=13 and ASCII=10). The Clipboard content ends with the NUL character (ASCII=0). This format is very suitable when working with other windows applications having a table form data entry, just like the spreadsheet applications.
Note that the following selections produce symmetric data formats. You can copy data from a selected view in Mimosa onto the Clipboard and then paste it back from the Clipboard using the following pairs of commands:
Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard|2 Codes, names and categories
Edit|Paste from the Clipboard
Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard|2 Codes, names and categories and MAX
Edit|Paste the Clipboard|1 Codes, names and categories and MAX
Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard|4 Codes and collections
Edit|Paste the Clipboard|2 Replace collections
Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard
Edit|Paste the Clipboard
Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard
Codes of all selected components are copied onto the Clipboard. You then have the menu selections, where you can specify the content of the Clipboard. In each selection, you always have as the first field the component code, but the other fields in that row depend on the particular menu selection. Instead of category texts or letters in Clipboard columnts, numbers 1-7 are used to avoid problems in cases when user has accidentally assigned the same character for several categories.
1 Codes and links - Creates 2-3 columns of components and courses they are linked to. You have the option to select whether you want to display codes, names or both. The selection below represents selection of both (=codes and names):

10 Selection matrix - Creates a table of courses and components, with courses as rows and components as columns. Each component that is in the current course collection is denoted by the number of the lectures in the table cell. If the component can be added to the course, it is denoted by 0, and if it cannot be added, the cell is left blank.

Edit|Paste from the Clipboard
Course codes, names, category numbers (1-7), the maximum number of lectures and, optionally, course collections can be pasted from the Clipboard and added to the list of courses. If a matching course code is found, the name and category is replaced. If collections are also pasted, all those components which have not already been created and not found in the component list are automatically omitted. Collections can be pasted in various modes (Replace, Add, Remove).
1 Codes, names, categories and MAX - Pastes the three columns codes, names, categories identified by course code from the clipboard. MAX must be a positive number.
This is the mirror selection for Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard|2 Codes, names, categories and MAX [Ctrl+C] which is used to export course data from Mimosa into other applications. Note that you can easily change the course names and categories by first copying the current course list onto the Clipboard, pasting it into a spreadsheet application, editing the needed items therein and then pasting the data back to Mimosa.

2 Replace collections - Replaces the collections identified by the course code with the component codes stored in the Clipboard.
3 Add to collections - Adds the component codes stored on the Clipboard to the original collection identified by the course code. If the original lists of collections are empty, it works just like Replace collections above.
In the selections 2 and 3 above, you can also select, how the possible conflicts are solved, if some of the lectures have already been timetabled. You can either prevent the application of accepting of components that would cause conflicts, or you can accept all components and remove the conflicting lectures afterwards.
4 Remove from collections - Removes from the collections all those components that are stored on the Clipboard and match with the collection identified by the course code.
The above three selections have the same format as Edit|Copy onto the Clipboard|4 Codes and collections.

Edit|Paste from the Clipboard - The weekly allocation table is pasted from the Clipboard in the same format as it is copied above. Only those lines, which have matching course codes with the currently existing course code list, are considered and updated, otherwise they are omitted. Pasting of allocation table does not affect those cells, which are booked.

10 Calendar timetable - This selection produces larger timetables, combined with several overlapped timetables.
When you are in Components or Components view, you can easily manage the course-component relationships with the help of Clipboard, for example if you like to copy the same set of components from one course to another. Clipboard commands are attached to Copy, Cut and Paste buttons and they are associated with the selected codes in the box on the left.

Edit|Copy selection onto the Clipboard - Copies the selection onto the Clipboard.
Edit|Cut selection from the Clipboard - Works as the Copy command above, except it also removes all selected codes from the left list box.
Edit|Paste selection from the Clipboard - Pastes the current Clipboard content onto the left list box.
