Richard,

Something went wrong with that image you sent.

Re: the list,

Are the check boxes on/off flags to designate something, like something done on a to do list? Is the status of an item shared by all users

OR,

Is the flag status for each item unique to the user viewing the page?

Actually, for any of these scenarios, my hunch is that using the "flag" module (http://drupal.org/project/flag) in conjunction views (http://drupal.org/project/views) would get you what you need.
