Use BAM in ALBPM --- How to use "Business Indicator variable" ?

Question

In ALBPM60_Studio_ReferenceGuide.pdf, there is text like that:
Using Variables in BAM
When creating a Project variable, you can define it as a Business Indicator variable. This allows the variable to be stored in BAM the database.
When you add Business Indicator variable to your process, a column is added to the following BAM database tables:Workload, Task Performance and Process Performance. The name of this column is the Business Indicator name preceded by the prefix "V_".
If you define a business dimension, the workload table contains one row for each possible value of this business dimension present in the process. Each of this rows will show the quantity of instances that match that business dimension.
When you define a measurement business variable the sum of this variable's value for all in flight is stored into workload table. If business dimensions were defined as well, then this sum will be divided into as many rows as business dimension values present in flight instances.
Task performance table stores one row for each instance that completes an activity. Each of these rows contains the value of dimensions and measurements at the time the instance completed the activity.
In a similar way, process performance table stores one row for each instance that gets to the end activity. Each of these rows contains the value of dimensions and measurements at the time the instance completed the whole process.
QUESTION:
1. What's meaning is that writed in bold italic? (Can anybody give me a samaple?)
2. How to use Range of Business Indicator variable?(When I set range in my sample,this varible can't save into BAM_WORKLOAD, BAM_TASKPERFORMANCE, BAM_PROCESSPERFORMANCE)
