This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/action-grouping-behavior defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition Copy
visual-group Visual Group Any group marked with this behavior should be displayed as a visual group to the end user user. btn   btn
logical-group Logical Group A group with this behavior logically groups its sub-elements, and may be shown as a visual group to the end user, but it is not required to do so so. btn   btn
sentence-group Sentence Group A group of related alternative actions is a sentence group if the target referenced by the action is the same in all the actions and each action simply constitutes a different variation on how to specify the details for the target. For example, two actions that could be in a SentenceGroup are "aspirin, "aspirin, 500 mg, 2 times per day" day" and "aspirin, "aspirin, 300 mg, 3 times per day". day". In both cases, aspirin is the target referenced by the action, and the two actions represent different options for how aspirin might be ordered for the patient. Note that a SentenceGroup would almost always have an associated selection behavior of "AtMostOne", "AtMostOne", unless it's a required action, in which case, it would be "ExactlyOne" "ExactlyOne". btn   btn

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 See Code System for further information.
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
