What the data for this category looks like
Data sources for consumer building materials research reports include public industry databases, research reports from securities firm building materials research teams, and public disclosure reports from leading consumer building materials enterprises. Update schedules adjust irregularly alongside industry financial reports and real estate regulation policies. Updates include regular monthly and quarterly updates, as well as temporary updates following sudden policies or major events. Document structures typically include core supply and demand data, policy interpretation, corporate revenue breakdowns, price trend analysis, and other modules. Field names and units vary significantly by product segment. For example, architectural ceramics use "square meters" as the production unit, while pipe products use "yuan per ton" as the average price unit.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on workflow orchestration?
The multi-source and scattered nature of consumer building materials research reports requires workflows to include multiple data source access nodes to adapt to different formats of public reports and enterprise disclosure documents. The irregular update schedule requires workflows to support a combination of scheduled and manual triggering modes, covering both regular synchronization and emergency scenarios. The wide variation in document length—from hundreds of words of industry updates to tens of thousands of words of in-depth analysis—requires configuring document segmentation and timeout verification nodes to avoid parsing interruptions. The inconsistent field units require pre-configured data cleaning nodes to complete standardization conversions, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent retrieval and question answering.
How to set the configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
workflowTriggerType | "Scheduled + Manual" dual mode | Adapts to the irregular update schedule of consumer building materials research reports, covering both regular daily synchronization and manual retrieval after sudden policy changes |
splitChunkSize | 800–1200 characters | Consumer building materials research reports contain a large number of tables and numerical paragraphs. This length balances context completeness and retrieval accuracy |
recallTopK | Top 6–8 entries | Consumer building materials research reports have many data dimensions. Too many recalls will introduce irrelevant cross-category content, while too few will fail to cover core information |
similarityThreshold | 0.72–0.78 | Filters low-relevance non-consumer building materials research reports, focusing on valid content within the target segment |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600 seconds | Long document research reports take longer to parse, avoiding workflow interruptions caused by timeouts |
maxContext | 12000–15000 characters | Adapts to context splicing requirements after long document segmentation, avoiding exceeding model context limits |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three common misconfigurations
- Symptom: Workflow runs normally in preview, but no results are returned in the chat interface. Cause: The
workflowPublicAccessparameter is not configured, or trigger permissions are not enabled for the chat scenario. - Symptom: When using the
deepseekR1-14bmodel,<think>tag content still appears after the thought output switch is turned off. Cause: The model's native thought output is not fully intercepted. An output cleaning node must be added to process the tag content. - Symptom: Node lag occurs when dragging workflow nodes, and node operation response takes more than 3 seconds. Cause: The
4.6.5version has a node rendering performance bottleneck. Upgrade to4.8.21or a later version.
How to verify successful configuration
- Manually trigger the workflow to run, check for timeout errors in the parsing log, and confirm that the
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSvalue matches the current document length being processed. - Initiate a test retrieval, check whether the returned results include consumer building material-specific fields and units, and confirm that the data cleaning node has completed standardization conversion.
- Switch to the chat scenario to initiate a retrieval, confirm that results are returned normally and there are no unprocessed
<think>tag contents. - Adjust the values of
recallTopKandsimilarityThreshold, verify that the number and relevance of retrieval results meet the expected settings.
