+### Boolean properties in `list_display`
+
+In ModelAdmin, boolean fields in `list_display` are rendered as tick/cross icons. To achieve the same behavior in SnippetViewSet, you need to use a `wagtail.admin.ui.tables.BooleanColumn` instance in `SnippetViewSet.list_display`:
+
+```python
+from wagtail.admin.ui.tables import BooleanColumn
+
+
+class MySnippetViewSet(SnippetViewSet):
+    list_display = ("title", BooleanColumn("is_active"))
+```
+
+The `BooleanColumn` class works with both model fields and custom properties that return booleans.
+
+```{versionadded} 5.1.1
+The `BooleanColumn` class was added.
+```
+
 ## Convert `ModelAdminGroup` class to `SnippetViewSetGroup`
 
 The {class}`~SnippetViewSetGroup` class is the snippets-equivalent to the `ModelAdminGroup` class. To migrate a `ModelAdminGroup` class to a `SnippetViewSetGroup` class, follow these instructions.
