Citations and Source Traceability for Undergraduate Program Establishment and Adjustment: Manage Authorized Access and External Services

Undergraduate Programs: review citations for authorized access. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

Program setup and dynamic adjustment materials for undergraduate programs include program setup application forms, talent training plans, expert review opinions, approval receipts, and version records. When the materials enter the authorized access and external services function, the application form provides the proposed program name, code, length of study, degree-granting category, and responsible person's signature; the training plan provides the course structure, credit count, practical components, and course start dates; the expert review opinions provide the review conclusion, expert list, signatures, and review date. The update rhythm advances according to the academic-year application cycle and internal review batches, with revised drafts and final drafts coexisting. Field characteristics are concentrated in four categories: names, quantities, dates, and signatures, and the same record must be aligned item by item across different materials. When external services are provided to parents or higher authorities, the visible scope is matched according to the visitor's identity, and unauthorized content is not visible.

Configuration and implementation checks

The citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node outputs only an array of cited content, each item containing the original text snippet and source identifier, and the length can be 0. The externally accessible entry point and authorization scope must be handled next by subsequent AI nodes, code nodes, or manual work. The cited content is output as an array, and the length can be 0; even if no content is found, the output chain will still run through.

ObjectCheckVerification action
Program setup application formWhether the name, code, length of study, degree-granting category, and signature date are consistent with the talent training planIn the node, check the selected knowledge base collections and their vector models, open the citation markers, and compare them against the original paragraphs in the application form
Talent training planWhether the course names, credit count, practical components, and course start dates match the expert review opinionsRun a test with a question that has no matching materials, see that the citation array is empty while the chain continues, then compare the fields item by item
Expert review opinionsWhether the review conclusion, expert list, signatures, and review date are synchronized with the approval receiptOpen the search parameter panel and check the values item by item, and inspect the citation source identifiers in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) and quoteList
Authorized access scopeWhether the visitor's identity matches the visible scope, and whether unauthorized content is not visibleAccess once with a restricted identity, check whether the visible items are consistent with the configured scope, and record the number of array items

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: the same program name is written differently in the application form and the training plan. Cause: the revised draft was not synchronized, the old version is still participating in retrieval in the knowledge base, and the cited snippet points back to an outdated paragraph.
  • Phenomenon: the course count and total credits do not match between the two materials. Cause: after the final draft was updated, the receipt was not replaced, the version record is missing, and the citation source identifier points to the old file.
  • Phenomenon: the expert review opinions lack signatures or the approval receipt is missing. Cause: the scanned copy is incomplete, the fields and dates were not checked item by item, and the citation array still returns snippets but cannot point back to a valid signature page.

How to verify the setup

This function's acceptance: ask a question with original-text support, and check whether the citation array and markers can point back to the original text; then ask a question with no matching materials, confirm that the array is empty while the chain runs through, and separately record the number of array items, viewing the tokens of the cited text separately from the quoteMaxToken budget.

Business test: access once with a restricted identity, see whether the visible scope matches the configuration, that unauthorized content is not visible, and check the source identifiers in quoteList within responseData.

  • In the node, check the selected knowledge base collections and their vector models, and confirm that knowledge bases with the same vector model are selected.
  • Open the search parameter panel and check the values item by item, keeping them consistent with the values set in the knowledge base retrieval section.
