| Code | Display | Definition | 
| document | Document | The bundle is a document. The first resource is a Composition. | 
| message | Message | The bundle is a message. The first resource is a MessageHeader. | 
| transaction | Transaction | The bundle is a transaction - intended to be processed by a server as an atomic commit. | 
| transaction-response | Transaction Response | The bundle is a transaction response. Because the response is a transaction response, the transaction has succeeded, and all responses are error free. | 
| batch | Batch | The bundle is a transaction - intended to be processed by a server as a group of actions. | 
| batch-response | Batch Response | The bundle is a batch response. Note that as a batch, some responses may indicate failure and others success. | 
| history | History List | The bundle is a list of resources from a history interaction on a server. | 
| searchset | Search Results | The bundle is a list of resources returned as a result of a search/query interaction, operation, or message. | 
| collection | Collection | The bundle is a set of resources collected into a single package for ease of distribution. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
