What data for this category looks like
Data for this category primarily comes from first-hand resources including customer on-site computer room environments, equipment lists, software installation packages, and network topology diagrams. Four types of documents are regularly produced: deployment manuals, installation records, configuration lists, and on-site check-in sheets.
Data updates occur once per single-phase task or completed single order. Document fields include deployment node identifiers, software version numbers, configuration parameter values, on-site check-in times, and more. There is no unified fixed general field format. Configurations must match the actual on-site deployment requirements of customers.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the "citation sources and traceability" workflow
Data comes from real-time on-site customer resources and updates per phase. Citation traceability must match the currently deployed software version and on-site nodes to avoid calling expired historical configuration data.
Non-standard on-site document structures require traceability to support custom field matching logic, rather than relying on fixed-format general fields. The single-order independent update feature requires traceability context to be isolated per task, preventing cross-order configuration data confusion.
Most on-site deployment resources are offline or local files. Traceability must support direct association of local files and permission verification.
How to set configurations
The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0 backend logic:
| Config Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
quoteMaxToken | 800–1200 token | Matches the average single-paragraph length of on-site deployment documents, ensures cited content fully covers deployment steps and configuration parameters |
responseData | Enable local file association mode | Adapts to offline document sources for on-site deployment, directly associates locally stored deployment manuals and configuration lists |
detail | Enable detailed traceability mode | Displays specific fields of on-site documents such as equipment model and installation time, to meet troubleshooting needs of implementation engineers |
| Maximum context rounds | First 3 rounds of conversation context | Limits context scope within a single order, avoids cross-order data interference, aligns with the per-order execution characteristic of on-site deployment |
| Citation matching threshold | 0.75–0.85 | Adapts to non-standard formats of on-site documents, balances recall accuracy and coverage, calibrated based on actual testing |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: When accessing the application via a login-free share link, the citation source pop-up still appears even if the citation view function is disabled. Cause: The traceability permission switch in the share scenario was not disabled synchronously in the application configuration, resulting in incomplete configuration coverage of all access channels.
- Phenomenon: FastGPT replies only return a citation list, with no main text content. Cause: The value of
quoteMaxTokenis too small to accommodate the main text content, only citation metadata is loaded. - Phenomenon: On-site deployment configuration information from the previous round cannot be associated in multi-turn conversations. Cause: The context scope isolated per task was not configured, resulting in cross-turn context being cleared or confused.
How to Confirm Configurations Are Correct
- Upload an on-site deployment configuration list in the application backend of FastGPT v4.17.0, initiate relevant Q&A, and check whether the returned results include citation traceability links for configuration fields.
- Adjust the value of
quoteMaxToken, test whether citation content of different lengths can be fully loaded, and confirm no truncation or loss occurs. - Switch to login-free share mode, and verify whether the citation view function is enabled or disabled synchronously with the configuration.
- Initiate multi-turn deployment troubleshooting Q&A, and confirm whether the context retains the previous round's on-site node information.
