What data for this category looks like

Data for this category typically comes from Figma or Axure source files, internal team design systems, user feedback and usability test records, and design review meeting minutes. Daily produced documents include interactive prototypes, page flowcharts, component specification descriptions, and review revision records. Data updates follow weekly iterations or releases before each version. Document structures center on page hierarchy, operation paths, component attributes, and review comments as core fields. No unified standardized fixed format exists. Some files embed interactive logic and state transition descriptions.

What constraints these characteristics impose on document parsing and chunking

Inconsistent document formats mean some files embed interactive logic and state transitions. Parsing processes must retain contextual associations of operation paths. File structures vary widely across different sources, so general template parsing cannot be used. Adaptation to export formats of Figma and Axure is required. Data update frequency is high, so chunking logic must support incremental processing to avoid repeated parsing of full content. Documents contain extensive associated information between page hierarchies and operation steps. Chunk length must cover complete operation nodes to avoid losing interactive logic context after splitting.

How to configure settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersAdapts to the length of single-page operation paths for interactive prototypes and flowcharts, avoiding loss of complete interactive logic after splitting
chunkSplitterParse by semantic segmentsRetains associations between page hierarchies and operation steps, avoiding damage to interactive context from fixed-character splitting
customPdfParseEnabledAdapts to PDF formats exported by Axure and Figma, extracts embedded interactive logic, page comments, and operation path information
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS600 secondsAddresses parsing time for large design system files, avoids interrupting the parsing process due to timeout
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE1000 MBSupports batch uploads of large design system files and collections of review records
chunkSettingModeManual configurationAdjusts chunking parameters for different types of design documents, adapts to diverse document structures

Three common errors

  • After uploading PDF files exported from Axure or Figma, search test results are empty. The cause is that the customPdfParse configuration is not enabled. General PDF parsing cannot extract embedded interactive logic and page hierarchy information.
  • Knowledge base vectorization takes too long. The cause is that chunkSize is not adjusted to the range suitable for design documents, or chunkSplitter with semantic segment parsing is not enabled, leading to redundant chunks and excessive parsing steps.
  • Data processing returns empty after local deployment. The cause is that a reasonable PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS value is not set. Parsing of large design files times out without triggering retries, resulting in incomplete data generation.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Based on FastGPT v4.17.0, upload a single-page PDF file exported from Axure. Check if page hierarchy and interactive action fields are extracted in the parsing log to confirm that the customPdfParse configuration is active.
  • Upload a design system file under 100 MB. Verify that parsing time falls within the preset PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS range, with no timeout errors.
  • Initiate a test query. Verify that search results contain complete operation paths and component descriptions to confirm that the chunkSize and chunkSplitter configurations do not break document context.
  • Upload batch design files. Check that the total size of uploaded files does not exceed the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE limit, with no upload failure prompts.
