Hotline Knowledge Base and Ticket Assistance for Reply Template Recommendation: Source Citation and Traceability

Hotline Knowledge Base and Ticket Assistance for Reply Template Recommendation: Source Citation and Traceability

What this category of data looks like

Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.

Data sources for this category are scattered, and update schedules vary significantly. This requires the traceability link to accurately distinguish between historical ticket replies and policy document source types, to avoid confusion of authority levels. Real-time sync configuration must adapt to the timeliness requirements of different sources, to ensure that traceability points to the latest version of content. The matching intent tags in the document structure require the traceability link to associate source entries corresponding to the relevant intent, to ensure that the reply and source matching logic strictly corresponds. The length range of a single reply text requires the traceability link to control the displayed content length, to avoid information overload.

How to Set Configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
quoteMaxToken800–1200 tokenAdapt to the length range of single reply texts, to avoid context window overflow
responseDataEnabledExtract complete metadata of source fields, to support traceability verification
detailFullRetain all fields of source documents, including update time and source path
Single recall limitTop 5 entriesControl the number of displayed sources, to avoid interfering with agent judgment
Timeout threshold60 secondsAdapt to response timeliness requirements in hotline scenarios
Source sorting ruleSort by authorityPrioritize displaying authoritative sources such as policy documents

Three Common Mistakes

  • Context citations fail to render Markdown formatting. Cause: detail is not set to Full, only plain text fragments are returned, and formatting markers are lost.
  • Some questions cannot be associated with knowledge base files. Cause: The responseData configuration is not enabled, and the system only calls internal historical ticket replies without associating official knowledge base entries.
  • Context citations are accidentally removed. Cause: The responseData configuration is incorrectly disabled, causing all source identifiers to be hidden.

How to Confirm the Configuration Is Complete

  • Submit a hotline-related query, check whether source identifiers and update times are displayed below the reply.
  • Enter the configuration page, confirm that the responseData switch is in the enabled state, and complete source metadata can be extracted from the logs.
  • Adjust the quoteMaxToken configuration, submit a long-text reply query, and check that the reply is not truncated.
  • View the source sorting rule, confirm that the configuration has taken effect, and authoritative sources are displayed first.

Note: The values listed above are common starting points, and should be evaluated against the reader's own samples.
