I am in the beginning of trying to find a way to automate process flow
design. I have several shapes that will be put in a sheet and all will
have different data and rules for connections and flow. I want a way
to store all of these attributes with the shape.

Looks like your best route will be with code. There is a number of things
you can do with a shapesheet, but the variety of rules could be an issue.
The first thing to do is to quantify the rules and the parameters that you
may need to store in the shapesheet.

I'm not sure a Shapesheet will acheive what I want either. I want to
be able to associate data with a shape, such as company, name,
action... Not things pertaining to Visio itself, but data from a
database.
