What the data for this category looks like

Data for insurance marketing content primarily comes from agent training manuals, product term documents, compliance script libraries, customer follow-up records, and regulatory policy documents. Update cycles fluctuate irregularly alongside new product launches and regulatory rule adjustments. A single update may cover one or multiple documents.

Document structures mix structured fields and unstructured paragraphs. Structured fields include product ID, coverage liabilities, premiums, sum insured, payment periods, and similar items, with corresponding units such as yuan/year, ten thousand yuan, year, and others. Unstructured sections include scenario-based marketing scripts and compliance reminders. Some documents include a references field marking cited regulatory documents or partner information, and a reasoning content field marking the logical derivation process of the script.

What constraints these characteristics impose on document parsing and chunking

The mixed structure of insurance marketing documents requires parsing workflows to support both structured field extraction and unstructured paragraph retention. This prevents splitting of single complete coverage liabilities or compliance reminders.

The presence of the references and reasoning content fields requires parsing processes to extract and retain associated fields. Without this, compliance annotations and script logic information will be lost.

The batch nature of single-document updates creates demand for multi-file uploads. Parsing workflows must support batch processing without losing cross-document association relationships.

Longer product term documents require the chunking process to retain contextual coherence. This avoids splitting cross-paragraph liability-related content into separate chunks.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValuesRationale
max_chunk_size800–1200 charactersInsurance marketing documents mix structured parameters and scripts. This range preserves the integrity of a single coverage liability or complete script paragraph
chunk_overlap100–150 charactersInsurance product terms include cross-paragraph liability associations. Overlapping sections retain contextual coherence
parse_referencesEnabledInsurance marketing documents often include regulatory document citations and product partner qualification descriptions. Enabling this setting fully extracts associated fields
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS600 secondsA single insurance product manual may include multiple pages of terms and scripts. A longer parsing duration avoids timeout failures
enable_structured_field_extractEnabledInsurance documents include standardized fields such as premiums, sum insured, and payment periods. Enabling this setting extracts structured data for precise chunking
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE1000 MBBatch-uploaded marketing document collections may include multiple materials. This upper limit covers conventional batch upload requirements

The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration setup. Actual values are influenced by material format, 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 errors

  • Phenomenon: The references field is empty or not extracted in parsed documents. Cause: The parse_references configuration item is not enabled, or its parameter settings are incorrect.
  • Phenomenon: When attempting to modify the maximum chunk length, the corresponding setting cannot be found in the interface, or modifications do not take effect. Cause: The default value definition for max_chunk_size is not located in the corresponding configuration file, or the service is not restarted after modifications.
  • Phenomenon: After uploading an insurance marketing PDF, the system does not trigger the document parsing process. Cause: The PDF file is not associated with a knowledge base that enables document parsing, or the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE setting is smaller than the current uploaded file size.

How to confirm correct configuration

  • Upload an insurance marketing document that includes the references field. Verify if the parsed metadata includes the content of the references field.
  • Navigate to the chunk configuration page of the knowledge base. Confirm that the set value of max_chunk_size matches the preset configuration.
  • Upload a test document that exceeds the default single-file size. Check if the system prompts that the file is too large, or completes parsing normally.
  • Run a local debugging script, call the document parsing interface, and pass in an insurance product term sample. Check if the returned chunk results retain complete coverage liability paragraphs.
