Known Limitations

IQ Bot Version 6.5.2 Known Limitations
JIRA/Zendesk ticket number Description
Customer service: 13420
Text segments might not get generated for PDFs with multiple file formats on different pages.
Tip: A current workaround is to convert the PDFs to TIFF files before uploading to IQ Bot.
CGNSRV-436 IQ Bot UI response can be slow due to multiple users. The dashboard refresh can be slow due to ~50+ learning instances or a large number of groups per learning instance.
COG-18016

Users can experience longer file upload times for files whose cumulative size is greater than 10MB, when using the APIs.
CGNSRV-362, CGNSRV-457, CGNSRV-521, COG-16030 Several customers have reported cases where some tables, without headers, spanning multiple pages could have skipped rows during extraction.
CGNSRV-356, CGNSRV-368, CGNSRV-372, COG-16891 Several customers have reported table extraction skipping some required rows to be extracted.
CGNSRV-467 IQ Bot healthcheck can incorrectly return a NOT OK message when learning instances are loading.
COG-18977 While upgrading to a different IQ Botversion, incorrect timestamp is inserted for the uploaded documents. The previous version of files have the local timestamp, and the new uploaded files have the timestamp based on the time of the machine (UTC).
COG-19485 If a new group is created in production, or if a user uploads documents to IQ Bot in production, and retroactively toggles the learning instance to production, the download API feature does not work for those documents.
