What data for this category looks like
Data for this category primarily comes from contracts, Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), client schedules, and project management systems. Daily output documents include project plans, milestone lists, weekly reports, and risk issue lists. Document fields include task identifiers, responsible parties, deliverable requirements, deadlines, progress percentages, risk levels, and more. Data update cycles are usually once weekly or triggered by individual milestone nodes. Field dimensions for different documents align with business granularity. For example, project plans focus on task breakdown and scheduling, while weekly reports focus on progress summaries and risk reporting.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the citation sources and traceability process
Data sources are scattered. Configure citation rules for multi-source interfaces to ensure content synchronized from contracts, WBS, client schedules, and project management systems can be accurately traced. Update cycles vary. Weekly reports updated once weekly and project plans triggered by milestones must match the latest versions of their respective documents during traceability to avoid referencing expired content. Document fields have multiple dimensions and fine granularity. Precisely bind cited content to fields such as task identifiers and responsible parties to prevent confusion in traceability information. Cross-role usage scenarios require traceability information to adapt to both project management and compliance review perspectives, ensuring clear business relevance of citation sources.
How to set the configurations
The following configuration items apply to FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale for This Setting |
|---|---|---|
| Max citation token count | 800–1200 token | Project implementation plan documents have many fields. Reserve sufficient tokens to carry traceability information such as task identifiers, responsible parties, and deadlines to avoid truncating critical content |
| Return citation data toggle | Enabled | Synchronize original document fragments of citations to responses to meet the direct viewing needs of project managers for traceability information |
| Enable detailed traceability | Enabled | Display fields such as document type and update time corresponding to cited content to meet compliance review requirements of PMO |
| Multi-source citation limit | Top 4 entries | Data sources related to project implementation usually do not exceed 4 categories. Excessive sources will lead to redundant traceability information |
| Traceability content filtering threshold | Calibrated based on actual testing | Document granularity varies across projects. Adjust matching degrees based on actual business scenarios to avoid introducing irrelevant content |
| Traceability timeout period | 30 seconds | Interface responses for project documents usually complete within 30 seconds. Timeouts will cause citation failures |
Three common mistakes
- Phenomenon: After calling the interface, the returned result has no content field, and only returns status code 200. Cause: The return citation data toggle is not enabled, so the interface only returns thinking results and does not synchronize cited document content.
- Phenomenon: Cited traceability information has messy formatting and includes a large number of irrelevant internal fields. Cause: No filtering rules for detailed traceability are configured, so non-business fields of documents are output together, damaging reading experience.
- Phenomenon: Garbled characters or formatting errors appear in traceability content. Cause: The original encoding format of the document is not matched, and non-standard format files exported from the project management system are read directly, leading to parsing exceptions.
How to confirm the configuration is complete
- Send an interface request, check if the returned result includes cited document fragments, and confirm that the return citation data toggle is active.
- View traceability information in the response, confirm that only fields related to project tasks are displayed with no redundant content, and confirm that the detailed traceability filtering rules are reasonable.
- Test citations from different data sources, confirm that returned traceability information matches the latest version of the corresponding document, and confirm that the version matching configuration is active.
- Simulate an interface call, check that the returned content has no garbled characters or formatting errors, and confirm that the encoding matching configuration is correct.
