Please explain electrical type when create new IC pin

These are used for ERC exclusively (the tool that checks connectivity of the schematic). If you don’t want to deal with it, make everything “bidirectional”. This is a more in depth topic, but personally I don’t pay attention to the errors from connecting input to output and “pin not driven” errors on ERC, so the bidirectional setting works for me. Your mileage may vary.
