Vertex painting an object will be covered in a separate tutorial. If the item has no vertex colors you can ignore this because Studio will give your object white vertex paint by default unless you specify otherwise by vertex painting the mesh. For example, lamps have vertex paint and the game uses the information to determine how much light shows on various parts of the object.

Vertex Colors - EA occasionally uses vertex paint to supply the game with additional information about the object.

Take a look at both and, if they are identical as most are for EA's items, you can ignore the second because Studio will duplicate the first UV map for you if you do not make a second UV map yourself. EA uses a different second UV in cases where the bump (normal) map is mapped differently from the diffuse map and for items without this feature they include a second UV that is identical to the first. Multiple joint assignments will be covered in a separate tutorial. If transformBone is the only joint in the list you can ignore the joints for this item because Studio will automatically assign your mesh to this joint if you don't make any joint assignments.
