### Rules tab
<a name="view-lifecycle-policy-console-rules-tab"></a>

The **Rules** tab displays the lifecycle rules configured for this policy:
+ **Name** – A fixed name that matches the policy action type:
  + `Deprecation rule`
  + `Disable rule`
  + `Deletion rule`
+ **Rule** – Short description of the configured action.
+ **Rule conditions** – Resource handling configuration, rule exceptions, and retention settings.

For more information about rule configuration, see [How lifecycle rules work](image-lifecycle-rules.md).

### Scope tab
<a name="view-lifecycle-policy-console-scope-tab"></a>

The **Scope** tab displays the resource selection criteria for this policy:
+ **Filter: {{type of filter}}** – The filter type that defines the scope:
  + `recipes` – Recipes used to create the images this policy applies to.
  + `tags` – Tags that Image Builder uses to select images this policy applies to.
+ **Search** bar – Filters the list by **Name**.
+ **Name** – Name or tag configured as filter criteria.
+ **Version** – Recipe version (recipe filter only).

### RunLog tab
<a name="view-lifecycle-policy-console-runlog-tab"></a>

Image Builder saves runtime details for each policy execution. Each table row represents one execution:
+ **Execution ID** – Unique identifier for the execution instance.
+ **Execution status** – Current execution state.
+ **Resource impacted** – Indicates whether the execution identified image resources for lifecycle actions.
+ **Start date** – Timestamp when the execution started.
+ **End date** – Timestamp when the execution ended. This field is empty if the execution is in progress or pending.

For execution status descriptions, see [Execution statuses](lifecycle-policy-execution.md#lifecycle-execution-statuses).

**Viewing per-resource details**  
Run the [list-lifecycle-execution-resources](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/imagebuilder/list-lifecycle-execution-resources.html) AWS CLI command with the execution ID to view individual resource outcomes. Each entry shows the action taken, its result (succeeded, failed, or skipped), and the reason.
