What the data for this category looks like
This category's data is sourced from internal archives of government and state-owned enterprises, public government service platforms, and official websites of industry regulatory authorities. Updates are triggered irregularly alongside policy releases. Document formats are primarily PDF and Word, with wide variation in single-document length. The structure consistently includes title, document number, issuing authority, effective date, chapters and clauses, among other elements. Fields include policy unique identifier, release level, applicable scope, clause number, and clause content. Clause length is measured in characters. Effective time uses standard date format. File storage size is measured in MB.
What constraints these characteristics impose on workflow orchestration
This category's data is scattered across multiple platforms with inconsistent formats. Workflows must be configured with multi-source data access nodes to support parsing of policy documents in PDF, Word, and other formats. Policy documents are structured by clause and have wide variation in length. Workflow chunking steps must split data at the clause granularity to avoid semantic fragmentation. Data updates have no fixed cycle. Workflows must support scheduled data source synchronization nodes. During synchronization, the variables node must store the latest policy's effective time identifier to ensure Q&A calls use the latest version. Additionally, policy data involves compliance requirements. Workflows must be configured with permission verification nodes to filter undisclosed sensitive clause content.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-source data synchronization | Configure two data sources: internal archives and government public service platforms, set synchronization interval to 12 hours | Policy updates have no fixed cycle; 12 hours covers most daily policy release rhythms |
| Document parsing rules | Enable clause-level parsing switch, disable general text chunking | Policy documents are structured by clause; clause-level parsing preserves complete semantic logic |
| Global variable configuration | Enable the variables node, store two variables: policy unique identifier and effective time | Used to mark the currently invoked policy version and avoid returning expired content |
| Workflow trigger mode | Set both scheduled trigger and manual trigger modes | Meets different needs for daily automatic synchronization updates and emergency Q&A |
| Sensitive content filtering | Configure filtering rules based on release level, only expose public-level policy content | Complies with government and state-owned enterprise data compliance requirements, prevents sensitive clause leaks |

Three common errors
- Symptom: After configuring a
variablescounter in the workflow, the counter does not automatically increment by 1 after the AI responds, and the variable value remains unchanged. Cause: The counter variable is not bound to the post-execution logic of the AI response node. Only the variable update plugin is configured, but no trigger node is associated. - Symptom: In FastGPT v4.17.0, the workflow debug panel does not display code execution steps. Cause: The "Show debug details" switch in workflow settings is not enabled; debug logs for non-core nodes are hidden by default.
- Symptom: After importing an external workflow configuration, the intermediate results of the secondary workflow do not match expectations. Cause: The
nodeIdof the imported workflow nodes is not remapped, leading to misalignment of parameter passing between nodes.
How to confirm the configuration is successful
- Execute a manual trigger test, view the data source synchronization logs, and confirm that both the internal archives and government public service platforms have successfully pulled the latest policy documents.
- Trigger the workflow, view the stored values in the
variablesnode, and confirm that the policy unique identifier and effective time have been updated correctly. - Run the workflow in debug mode, confirm that code execution steps are displayed in the debug panel with no error messages.
- Input a query involving undisclosed policies, and confirm that the workflow returns compliant permission prompt content.
