"Title Field" = Drop down menu lets you select any metadata form that that form is able to interact with.  You select which one you would like to map to the title of the Drupal representation of that item.

"XSL Transform" = Option to map from MODS XML (if you are installing a MODS form as opposed to some other metadata schema) to Dublin Core.  Select this if you are installing a MODS form.  Leave it "No Transform" if you are working with any other format.

"Self XSL Transform" =  Drop down menu shows shows transformations available to run on the XML on save.  You might use this to clean up the XML, for example, to remove empty elements.  You might also use this for functionality that cannot be implemented in the Form Builder's web forms, for example, to sequence elements relative to one another.  Instructions on how to add a .xsl file to the list of options are here https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/wiki/Creating-and-Working-With-XML-Forms#adding-an-xslt-transformation-to-the-list-of-available-transformations .  In general, your site or hosting company will have a standard transformation to be used for each metadata schema.

"Upload Template Document" = You can upload a sample metadata record in XML, and that will be used to prepopulate the form fields when someone creates a new item on the site.  This will have no effect on editing existing metadata for an item on the site.
