What this category of data looks like
Data for this category comes from daily production documents of color printing, label, carton, flexible packaging and pharmaceutical packaging material enterprises, including pre-press files, imposition sheets, printing process sheets, ink color matching records, first article sample approvals, barcode inspection and die-cutting lamination records. Data sources cover customer manuscripts, color management systems, printing press operation data, ink and substrate batch records, spectrometer and barcode detector output results. Update frequency is triggered per order, per batch or each plate change. Document fields include version numbers, batch numbers, color parameters, test results and other content. There is no unified fixed format, and it is dynamically adjusted with production links.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the "citation source and traceability" link
The high-frequency dynamic updates, multi-source mixed attributes and high-risk consequences of data in this category bring multiple constraints to citation traceability. First, data updates are triggered by order, batch or plate change. Traceability must bind unique order numbers and batch identifiers to avoid citation confusion across production units. Second, document types cover multiple unstructured or semi-structured content such as technical sheets, test records and equipment data. Traceability must support accurate matching of multi-format data sources and cannot rely on a single field rule. Third, data sources include manual records and equipment outputs. Traceability must retain complete context of original records without truncating key parameters. Fourth, citation errors can cause entire batch scrap. The traceability chain must fully trace back to the original production link.
How to set the configuration
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
quoteMaxToken | 800–1200 token | The typical length of a single valid content segment such as printing process sheets and ink color matching records falls within this range, allowing key parameters and batch information to be fully retained |
responseData | Only return matched original document fragments | Avoid mixing irrelevant content and ensure traceability points to clear production records |
detail | Enable full traceability | Can display the source path and version information of original documents, meeting traceability requirements for production links |
| Maximum number of citation sources | Top 3 | Process issues in printing and packaging processing usually relate to no more than 3 core documents; too many sources will interfere with answer clarity |
| Re-ranking matching threshold | Calibrated through actual testing | Must match the semantic characteristics of this category of data to avoid mismatching documents from unrelated orders |

Three common errors
- Phenomenon: After enabling the re-ranking function, the citation fragment is empty and no valid traceability content is returned. Cause: The re-ranking matching threshold is set outside the semantic feature range of this category of data, resulting in valid matching results being filtered and traceable document fragments not being retained.
- Phenomenon: After exporting the workflow and importing it into a new environment, the referenced data source plugin fails to load properly. Cause: The data source connection parameters consistent with the original environment are not configured in the new environment, or the associated configuration of the data source is not synchronized during the import process.
- Phenomenon: "No permission to operate this conversation record" is displayed at the end of the reply, and citation content cannot be displayed normally. Cause: The traceability permission switch for the conversation is not enabled, or the current operating role is not granted permission to view citation sources.
How to confirm the configuration is properly set
- Initiate a query about printing process sheet parameters or barcode inspection results, and check whether the returned results include traceability fragments bound to order numbers and batch numbers.
- Adjust the value of
quoteMaxToken, and verify whether the length of the returned citation fragments matches the actual content range of production documents. - Export the currently configured workflow and import it into a test environment, and check whether the data source plugin can be properly associated and loaded.
- View the permission settings of the conversation record, and confirm that the citation display function is not restricted and traceability content can be viewed normally.
