# Components

The **Components Inventory** page displays information about all the components (3rd party dependencies) your project or group depends upon.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can reach the Inventory's **Components** page by selecting the Components tab at the top of any Inventory page.
{% endhint %}

The **Components Inventory** page displays the following information:

* Total number of components and average per project
* Total number of **Direct** dependencies (i.e. those explicitly declared in your package manager's manifest files)
* Number of components with security risk associated
* Charts about the distribution of components by repository, ecosystem and language
* A table with listing all the present components

{% hint style="info" %}
An important filter is **Dependency Type** (**direct** or **indirect**). This filter allows you to see those dependencies **explicitly declared** and those that are **transitive**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Another important filter is **Alert Type**. This filter allows you to find dependencies with **License** warnings, dependencies tagged as with **Malicious** code, or **Obsolete** dependencies. See [Component's Alert Type](/xygeni-products/open-source-security-oss/risks-sca.md#components-alert-type) for a full description.
{% endhint %}

Clicking on the <img src="/files/5FmjwThA0hX07qYzmv8J" alt="" data-size="original"> icon of any component will open a **Summary** slide with details of the component:

* **Ecosystem** (npm, maven, etc)
* **Provenance** (the parent component in case of a transitive dependency)
* Data about the **publisher** of the component
* **Malware Score**
* **Latest** available **version** and **publication** **date**
* **License** detected and type

The **Issues** tab shows information about **vulnerabilities** of the component.
