## Component Hierarchy

Boomi Console uses the Boomi [Component Reference Object](https://help.boomi.com/bundle/developer_apis/page/int-Component_Reference_object.html) to [resolve parent and children component IDs](/boomi-console/commands/arguments/common-arguments/command-sources.md#component-resolution) from Runtime.

<details>

<summary>/children</summary>

`/Children={None|Independent|`**`Dependent`**`|All}`

Specify which kind of children components should be resolved.

* None - Only the provided component is resolved with no children.
* Independent - Only *independent* children, like process routes, are resolved.
* Dependent - Only dependent children are resolved, which includes all components which would be deployed with the specified parent component, like *maps*, *sub-processes*, *profiles* etc.
* All -Dependent and Independent children will be included.

</details>

<details>

<summary>/parents - plural!</summary>

`/Parents[={true|`**`false`**`}]`

Resolve **all** parents (referencing) components and save their metadata in the workspace. All relationships incl. metadata are stored in the [database](/boomi-console/library/the-workspace/the-project-database.md), too.

If you want all parents, use `/Parents=true.`
