Can you briefly explain what each value does?

They are different data types supported by the BDBs.

uN (N= 8, 16 or 32): Unsigned integers, N bits. Meaning values without a fraction between 0 and 2^N.

sN (N= 8, 16 or 32): Signed integers, N bits. Meaning values without a fraction between -2^(N-1) and 2^(N-1).

f32/64: Single (32) or double (64) precision floating point values. GameMaker uses 64-bit double precision floats.

string: A string.
