Hi Nick,
Actually, the yesterday’s release of CODAP has fixed the problem for now by having the case table show from the start and eliminating the first task.
When you open CODAP you should see Version 2.0 (0611) in the upper right corner, and when you open the Getting Started document there should be only four tasks. (If you see five tasks, try clearing your browser’s cache and reloading.)
Hope this works!
Bill
