As I am new to Appian, so I have faced a problem while creating a process model. 
 I wanted to know how can we check in a process model whether the employee id of the user already exists in the database but is in the inactive state or it is a new</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Process Model</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/89445?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jan 2022 06:44:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:103b8a8f-ea04-4112-bd0f-6e9be0f8ef83</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;In general, you can call any Appian function in a process model. In your case, the function isusernametaken().&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To find out whether a user is inactive, you might want to deploy the following plugin&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and use the function&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;isuseractive().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
