What this category's data looks like
In the scenario of foreign teacher appointments and course scheduling, the core materials are the appointment contract, work permit materials, and the course schedule. The appointment contract contains the teacher's name, position, start and end of the appointment period, compensation, and signatures of both parties; the work permit materials contain the permit number, nationality, ID number, validity period, and issuance receipt; the course schedule contains the course name, class, week number, number of class hours, and the signature of the scheduler. The three types of materials are maintained separately by HR, foreign affairs, and academic affairs, and their update cadence changes with approvals and scheduling, so field naming and date formats are often inconsistent. When the materials enter the exception tracing and manual review function, the appointment contract serves as the baseline for identity and appointment period, the work permit materials serve as the basis for compliance and validity period, and the course schedule serves as the source of fact for class hours and scheduling; the three are associated by teacher and course number for subsequent comparison and review.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the HTTP node in the workflow, outputting the response body, status code, and returned fields. The exception list and review conclusions are completed by subsequent nodes parsing the response, or by an external system handling them as agreed.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment contract | Whether the teacher's name, start and end of the appointment period, and signature are consistent with the work permit materials | Check the contract fields, dates, and signature, and confirm the placeholder sources in the variable panel |
| Work permit materials | Whether the permit number, validity period, and receipt are complete and synchronized | Compare the permit number and validity period, and check whether the receipt is missing a signature |
| Course schedule | Whether the course name, class, number of class hours, and scheduling date match the contract appointment period | Check the course fields and dates, and confirm the scheduler's signature |
| Request and response | Whether the request URL, request headers, and request body are rendered as agreed | View the fully rendered URL in the request preview, and check Authorization and responseData |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The same teacher's name is written differently in the appointment contract and the work permit materials, so they cannot be associated during tracing. Cause: The two materials are entered separately and are not aligned by unified fields and numbers.
- Symptom: The course schedule version is not synchronized, and the number of class hours is inconsistent with the latest scheduling. Cause: After academic affairs modifies it, it is not written back, and the old version is still referenced.
- Symptom: The work permit materials are missing a signature or receipt, so the review conclusion cannot be finalized. Cause: The material circulation step did not collect everything, and the signature field and receipt were not archived.
How to verify the setup
This function's acceptance: preview the rendered request, check the status code and returned fields, then compare the result against one sample; confirm that all variables placeholders can be resolved, that Authorization is passed in as required by the external system, and that the responseData fields are consistent with the agreement.
Business test: create one exception record and see whether the source material can be traced
- In the variable panel, check the source of each placeholder and confirm whether it comes from a global variable, system variable, or the output of a preceding node
- Use one sample request to compare the response, and check whether the request header names and value sources conform to the external interface agreement
