What this category's data looks like
International student admissions and enrollment management involves three core types of materials: the admissions prospectus, the admission letter, and the visa application form. The admissions prospectus states the major, program duration, application conditions, and deadline, and is the source of the admissions basis; the admission letter confirms the admission result, registration date, and signature field, and is the evidence for establishing enrollment status; the visa application form records passport information, study period, and signature receipt, and is the basis for entry and residence. When these three types of materials enter the knowledge base retrieval node, each participates in vector search as an independent source: the prospectus provides the conditions basis, the admission letter provides the result basis, and the application form provides the identity basis. The material update cadence is synchronized with admissions batches and visa policies, and field characteristics include name, nationality, major name, admission date, signature, and receipt status. The name, quantity, and date of the same record across the three materials must remain consistent, the version must be current, and signatures and receipts must not be missing.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node, which outputs an array of cited content, each entry containing the original text fragment and source identifier, and the length may be 0. The basis entries that can be traced back to the original text are then completed by subsequent AI nodes, code nodes, or manual work.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Admissions prospectus | Whether the fields, dates, and signature are consistent with the current version | Check the major name, application deadline, and signature field in the prospectus, and confirm that the version is current and corresponds to the admission letter |
| Admission letter | Whether the name, quantity, and date match the prospectus and application form | Compare the name, major, and registration date in the admission letter with the prospectus records, and check whether the signature and receipt are complete |
| Visa application form | Whether the passport information, study period, and signature receipt are complete | Check the name, nationality, and study start and end dates in the application form and admission letter, and confirm that the signature and receipt are not missing |
| Cited content array | Whether each citation can be traced back to the original paragraph, and the length may be 0 | Open the citation superscript to compare against the source document, record the number of array entries, separately check the quoteMaxToken budget, and inspect the source identifiers in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) and quoteList |
Three common errors
- Symptom: the same student's name spelling or major name is inconsistent between the prospectus and the admission letter. Cause: the two materials were entered by different steps, and no cross-material field comparison was performed.
- Symptom: the admission letter date does not match the study period in the visa application form. Cause: the versions were not synchronized, and old-version materials still remain in the knowledge base and participate in retrieval.
- Symptom: the cited fragment does not match the original text, or the answer has citation superscripts but the array is empty. Cause: the materials hit in this round and the source identifiers were not checked first, and the issue was directly attributed to length truncation.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance for this feature: ask a question that has an original-text basis, and check whether the citation array and superscripts can be traced back to the original text; then ask a question with no matching materials, and confirm that the array is empty while the pipeline runs through.
Business test: ask a cross-material basis question, and see whether the answer gives a traceable source.
- In the node, check the selected knowledge base collections and their vector models, and confirm that the selected knowledge bases use the same vector model.
- Open the search parameter panel and check the values item by item, record the number of citation array entries, separately check the
quoteMaxTokenbudget, and inspect the source identifiers inquoteListwithinresponseData.
