JSON State Shape values
-----------------------
In this fellowing table you'll find the shape values that you can use in workflow and state customizations, note that:

- The JSON shape values are case sensitive
- If a value is wrong or not in this list, then the parent default shape will be selected. 

==================  ==============
Shape               JSON Value

Rectangle           ``rect``
Rounded Rectangle   ``roundRect``

Delay               ``delay``
Document            ``document``

Automatic Sate Shapes Behavior
------------------------------

In this table you can find how automatic option selects a shape according to state specifications, listed by priority: for instance the shape ``Termination`` is selected prior the shape ``Preparation``

.. tip:: The automatic option is actually experimental, because of combination of actions, automatic transitions, preconditions and postcondition may not always select appropriate shape
