Hi Pete,

You actually have the option from "Import GIS" to load it as a product or a 
map. If you load it as a product you can specify the times the product is valid 
for or if it is more a static image, you can load it as a map. If you have your 
own EDEX you can actually add the shapefile to the database and have it become 
an select-able entry from the maps menu. 

Thanks,
