There is a example on the wiki. You have to set your own values with the second argument of the \startchapter etc. command, to display the entry in the roc you have to write your own layout where you access it with the \structurelistuservariable command.

This example fails for me using the current (2014-09-27) standalone beta and with TL14. The failure is that the list of authors is presented as a grid without contents.

Changing any of the lines in the example that construct the table cells, such as
\bTD \structureuservariable{author} \eTD
to
\bTD xx \structureuservariable{author} \eTD
results in a table with the new text, but no user variable text, showing that the \structureuservariable commands are not returning any text in this example.

Has something relevant changed since the example was prepared (2010-11 or earlier)?

(A pointer to useful descriptions of \structureuservariable and \structurelistuservariable would also be welcome. In the wiki, the startsection command description describes the former, but I have come across no comprehensive description for either in the documentation.)
