Minimum period:
Minimum input arrival time before clock:
Maximum output required time after clock:
Maximum combinational path delay:
The last item interests me most (among the four) since it sometimes gives me this:
Maximum combinational path delay: No path found.
I do not know whether this is good. So I checked. In a Xilinx forum, expert contributor gszakacks said,

This is normal if there is no path from a top-level input to a top-level output that is not clocked. I assume your design is fully pipelined, thus no combinatorial paths from input to output?

Maximum combinational path delay...is the maximum delay for signal propagation in your design, so changing signals faster than [this] will result in unexpected behavior.

They have an example there (Timing Simulation: Combinational Logic Section 2), where they made the signal transition faster which resulted in simulation failure - the output signals do not match the input signals because the inputs change too fast.
