# CheckBox

Learn how to use the CheckBox report item in ActiveReportsJS.

## Content



A ```CheckBox``` report item displays static or dynamic text together with a checkbox in a report.

### Adding a CheckBox

You can add a ```CheckBox``` into a report by either double-click the corresponding item in the [toolbox](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Designer-Interface#toolbox) or drag-and-drop it to a report page area or other containers.

### General CheckBox Configuration

The general configuration includes [Base Report Item properties](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#base-properties), [Common Style Properties](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#style-properties), [a subset of Text Properties](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#text-properties) and [Visibility](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#visibility)

### Content

* The ```Text``` is an [expression](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#expression) that sets the content to be displayed in the checkbox.
* The ```Checked``` boolean [expression](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#expression) indicates whether the box displayed along with the text is checked or unchecked.
* The ```Check Alignment``` determines the checked or unchecked box position relative to the report item bounds.
