# Helm terminology * **Dependency:** This is what may be referred to as a component in other systems. It is the firmware, software, patches, or operating system that is installed on the physical representations of your device (e.g., Windows, OpenSSL). In this help center, it is referred to as a component.\ \ **Note:** We are in the process of moving from using the term, dependency, to component in our UI (and therefore, docs), thus you will see these terms used interchangeably during this transition. Currently, both of these terms refer to the same thing. * **Component:** Currently this means the same as dependency. See note above. * **Version:** This is the component’s version (e.g., 10.1 for Windows). * **Supplier:** This is the component’s version (e.g., 10.1 for Windows). * **Badges:** These are used like tags. They may also be referred to as chips. * In the editable state, they include an x to remove them. * Depending on the use case, some chip states can only be removed by unchecking the drop-down options. * **Panels:** Panels refer to panels that slide-out from the right of the main page. You can close a panel to return to the main (or parent) page from which it was launched. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
