The message structures used in a particular library are defined in the corresponding industry standard. This section presents a brief description of the structures and the properties that you can edit in the Library Customization Tool. We have attempted to define the terms in everyday language, rather than the precise but highly technical language used in the standards.

For more information about the precise definition of each term, see the appropriate industry standard. For example, for detailed information about HIPAA message structures and properties, see the HIPAA documentation.
