What the Data for This Category Looks Like
The data for special steel financing daily reports comes from domestic special steel manufacturers' direct reporting systems, public transaction data from regional bulk commodity markets, and aggregated information from industry monitoring platforms. Data updates follow a daily schedule. Same-day data is compiled and released early the next morning. Documents use a structured table format. Each row corresponds to daily financing-related data for one special steel product. Fields include product name, specification model, origin, daily financing unit price, total transaction volume, settlement cycle, and more. Unit price is measured in yuan/ton. Total transaction volume is measured in tons. Settlement cycle is measured in days.
Constraints for Citation Sources and Traceability
Special steel product specification models include detailed information such as grade, dimensions, and heat treatment status. A single product name cannot support accurate matching. Citation traceability requires matching both the product name and the complete specification field. Matching errors will occur if this requirement is not fulfilled. Multiple data sources lead to missing partial fields for some niche special steel varieties. Traceability processes must handle null values to avoid displaying incomplete citation content. The daily update rhythm requires knowledge base synchronization frequency to match the daily report release schedule. Expired data will be cited if synchronization does not align with release times. The special steel financing daily report has a large number of single data entries but high segmentation. Precise screening of relevant entries is required to avoid citing redundant irrelevant data.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Recall count | Top 8-12 entries | The special steel financing daily report has high product segmentation, with fewer data entries per category. Recalling enough entries covers target products and avoids omissions | |||||
Similarity threshold | 0.75-0.85 | Special steel product specification descriptions are long and have high similarity. A higher threshold filters irrelevant recall results and avoids matching data from other steel categories | |||||
Citation template | `{{source}} | {{product_name}} | {{spec}} | {{price}} yuan/ton | {{volume}} ton | {{update_time}}` | The core traceability fields of the special steel financing daily report include data source, product name, specification, price, transaction volume, and update time. The template must fully include these fields to meet traceability requirements |
Knowledge Base Scheduled Sync Cycle | Daily 2:00 AM | The special steel financing daily report updates daily. The synchronization cycle matches the release rhythm to ensure the timeliness of knowledge base data | |||||
Rerank result count | Top 3-5 entries | Special steel products have high similarity. Reranking retains the most relevant results and avoids citing redundant data | |||||
Context Window Length | 1200-1500 characters | Special steel specification descriptions are long. A sufficient context window accommodates complete product information and avoids truncation leading to traceability failures |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: The output response does not cite the original answer from the knowledge base, and directly generates AI-generated content. Cause: The
强制使用知识库内容parameter is not enabled, or the prompt does not restrict only using existing data within the knowledge base. - Phenomenon: The code running node in the workflow cannot select the knowledge base citation variable. Cause: The
允许变量引用option is not enabled in the knowledge base configuration, or the variable scope of the node does not include the knowledge base module. - Phenomenon: Null fields appear in citation results, such as the
volumefield showing blank. Cause: Some niche special steel varieties' data sources do not provide transaction volume data, and no null value replacement logic is configured, resulting in incomplete citation content displayed during traceability.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Enter the full specification name of a special steel product in a test conversation, such as "Cr12MoV die steel 100mm×200mm annealed". Check if the answer fully cites the corresponding data from the knowledge base without adding extra generated content.
- View the knowledge base synchronization logs to confirm that the daily early morning synchronization task has been completed, and the update time matches the official release time of the special steel financing daily report.
- Test calling the knowledge base citation variable in the workflow's code node, confirm that search result entries corresponding to the special steel category can be selected.
- Export the citation traceability logs, check if each citation's fields fully include core information such as data source, product name, and specification.
The parameter values provided on this page are general recommendations for establishing configuration baselines. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing values.
