If you need additional properties you can create your own, custom properties to be registered with the document and used within the Blueriq model. These need to be declared in both Blueriq and Alfresco.

Configure Alfresco

The default Alfresco model, type or its properties cannot be modified. Therefor you need to create a new ‘Content model’ in Alfresco.
Information about how to do so can be found on https://docs.alfresco.com/
Background on Models: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/config/models/
Tutorial with example: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/tutorial/model/

From the Content Model structure only the Content Model, Custom Types and Properties are required.
