What data for this category looks like
Policy and regulatory basis documents for government and enterprise IT services originate primarily from official government disclosure platforms, formal documents released by industry regulators and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and internal business management systems revised by government and enterprise entities. Document update cycles are irregular, tied to policy releases, revisions or business adjustments. Most documents include standard elements: document numbers, issuing authorities, effective dates, chapters and clauses, and attached tables. Covered fields include application scope, clause numbers, execution standards and more. Document units are categorized at provincial, industry classification, and clause item levels.
What constraints these characteristics impose on document parsing and chunking
The multi-source, multi-format nature of government and enterprise policy documents requires parsing workflows to support multiple file types including PDF, Word, Excel and others. These workflows must also filter redundant fixed header and footer information embedded in official documents. The nested chapter and clause structure of documents requires chunking processes to retain the association between clause numbers and their corresponding content, and avoid splitting core policy basis content. Attached tables often contain structured data, so the system must accurately map cells to their corresponding fields to ensure chunked data can be correctly retrieved. Irregular update cycles require parsing workflows to adapt to new or revised document structures without frequent configuration adjustments.
How to configure settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
chunkSize | 800–1200 characters | Government and enterprise policy documents are often lengthy in single volume, with tight associations between clauses. This length covers complete clause units and avoids splitting core policy basis content |
chunkSplitter | Split by paragraph + chapter number | Government and enterprise policy documents are mostly organized by chapters and clause numbers. This splitting rule retains contextual logic and improves Q&A matching accuracy |
customPdfParse | Enable header and footer filtering | A custom PDF parsing adaptation feature added in FastGPT v4.17.0, which can accurately filter redundant information such as document numbers and issuing authorities embedded in official policy files |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 1000 MB | Single policy documents may include multi-chapter attachments. This setting prevents upload interruptions caused by oversized files |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600 seconds | Large policy documents take longer to parse. Extending the timeout prevents mid-process parsing interruptions |
chunkSettingMode | Manual configuration | Adapts to the special structure of government and enterprise documents, avoids automatic adaptation to general scenarios, and enables precise control over chunking rules |
Three common configuration mistakes
- Scenario: Parsing interrupts and returns a timeout error when uploading a policy compilation PDF that exceeds the system default size. Cause: The
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSparameter is not adjusted, and the system default shorter timeout value is used, which cannot complete parsing of large documents. - Scenario: When importing Excel attachments accompanying policies, some policy document numbers and effective date fields in certain cells cannot be correctly extracted. Cause: The table parsing adaptation mode of
customPdfParseis not enabled, and the default parsing rules fail to recognize the special field formats of government and enterprise documents. - Scenario: When entering policy-related questions directly, the system triggers an additional document parsing process, resulting in response delays. Cause:
chunkSettingModeis not set to manual configuration mode, and the system's default general chunking logic mistakenly identifies ordinary questions as content to be parsed.
How to confirm configurations are properly applied
- Upload a typical government and enterprise policy PDF, review the parsed chunk results, and confirm that clause numbers and their corresponding content are not split.
- Upload a policy file of the maximum allowed size, and confirm that the parsing process does not experience timeout interruptions.
- Import Excel attachments accompanying policies, and confirm that all specified fields are correctly extracted and included in chunks.
- Enter a plain text question, and confirm that the system does not trigger a document parsing process and proceeds directly to the Q&A session.
