How to create a business process workflow?

In a previous job, we had many business process workflows created to guide a project manager on what to do to get a project onboarded. I'm looking to replicate this in my current job.
To onboard a project, a project manager was guided through process #1, #2, etc, and each process listed out what to do, where to store documents, what to populate. Each process was a specific workflow like what you would see in Visio, but each item within the workflow indicated each step and had a list of work instructions.
I can't seem to find that funcitonality of how to do this.
Would someone help me get started? I'm now part of a beginning PMO group and I'd like to do things right.

Hi Susan,
Apologies if I'm not fully grasping your question. If you're wondering whether Smartsheet can generate a Visio workflow for a process, the answer is no. Smartsheet focuses on automating workflows based on specific triggers you define rather than creating visual representations like Visio diagrams.
Cheers.
Cheers.

in the previous job, we had workflows that guided a PM through steps to onboard a project. It looked like visio, but it wasn't, it was in SmartSheet. I was wondering how to duplicate this.
Is there a way to standardize a workflow in smartsheet, such as to provide instructions on steps to take to onboard? Or just set this up as a task list?
