What the Data for This Category Looks Like
Typically, data for this category comes from product help centers, customer organizational structures, training recording videos, and ticketing systems. Update frequency is per order or per version. Daily processed documents include training slides, user manuals, training attendance sheets, and question and answer lists. Core fields include role permission descriptions, operation steps, answer scripts, attendance records, and more. Document structures are mostly split by training workflow or product modules, and overall volume changes with product version iterations or customer ticket volumes.
What Constraints These Characteristics Impose on the Scheduled Tasks and Automation Link
Multi-source heterogeneous data sources require scheduled tasks to adapt to multiple formats such as transcribed video text, ticket Q&A, and structured help documents, to avoid parsing and processing failures. Non-fixed update frequencies require tasks to support triggering based on product version iterations or customer ticket triggers, while also supporting on-demand trigger configurations. The diversity of document structures requires automated workflows to adapt to different layouts such as long-text slides, tabular attendance sheets, and list-style Q&A lists, to avoid format parsing errors. High-time-consuming content processing links require tasks to prioritize resource allocation for documents such as role permission explanations and operation step demonstrations, to improve overall processing efficiency. Severe error consequences require configuring failure retry mechanisms and alert notifications, to reduce the risk of ticket surges.
How to Set Configurations
The following configuration items apply to FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Task trigger timing | Trigger based on product version updates or customer ticket volume thresholds | Adapt to the non-fixed update frequency of this category, avoid unnecessary executions |
| Maximum documents processed per single task | 10–20 copies | Balance processing resource usage and batch processing efficiency |
| Text chunk split size | 800–1200 characters | Adapt to reasonable segmentation of long-text slides, avoid chunk loss issues |
| Failure retry count | 2–3 times | Balance processing success rate and resource consumption |
| Alert trigger threshold | Trigger when task failure rate exceeds 10% | Respond to anomalies in a timely manner, reduce the risk of ticket surges |
| Content retention rules | Retain original document structure, disable automatic directory deletion | Match user requirements for document completeness |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: When the text chunk split size is set to 3000 characters, the number of generated document chunks is lower than expected, and some content is lost. Cause: A reasonable chunk split range was not configured. An overly long single chunk exceeds the system's parsing threshold, resulting in some fragments not being correctly included.
- Symptom: When performing a document copy operation, the interface displays the prompt "Unable to use browser automatic copy, please copy manually". Cause: Browser clipboard access permissions were not granted, or browser privacy settings blocked automatic copy requests.
- Symptom: Documents uploaded to the knowledge base automatically remove original directory markers and hierarchical structures after parsing. Cause: The default content formatting cleanup switch was not disabled. The system automatically cleaned up unstructured directory markers.
How to Verify Successful Configuration
- Manually trigger a test task, check whether the trigger conditions in the task log match the preset version updates or ticket thresholds.
- Upload a test document containing a directory structure, verify whether the parsed document retains the original directory hierarchy.
- After configuring the text chunk split size, upload a long-text test document, check whether the number of generated document chunks matches expectations.
- Simulate a processing failure scenario, verify whether alert notifications are triggered normally when the failure rate reaches the threshold.
