# typeAutomatic

An array of pasteboard-item representation types with automatically-determined uniform type identifiers (UTIs).

```
class let typeAutomatic: String
```

## Discussion

Use this type in the [`setItems(_:options:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPasteboard/setItems(_:options:)) method to automatically insert appropriate UTIs for supported types. In iOS 10, supported types are <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSString>, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSAttributedString>, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSURL>, [`UIImage`](/documentation/UIKit/UIImage), and [`UIColor`](/documentation/UIKit/UIColor).
