Hope this will help.

Hi Prachi,
Hierarchy settings allow you to personalize your application for different profiles and/or users. The interface has baked-in logic that drills down into the org, profile, and user level (based upon the current user) and returns the most specific or lowest value in the hierarchy. I've found hierarchy custom settings to be extremely useful for those "one off" occasions.
As List custom settings, when you create a new hierarchy custom setting, the platform creates a custom object in the background for you (notice the API Name field). You then add additional fields to the custom setting in the same manner that you do for custom objects (you are limited to checkbox, currency, date, date/time, email, number, percent, phone, text, text area and URL fields).
Steps to activate list custom settings and hierarchy custom settings:
Go to Setup->Data Management->Schema Settings
and then Enable Manage List Custom Settings Type
Thanks.

Hi,
Admins have the ability to control the List type Custom Setting creation. By default, the "Manage List Custom Settings Type" is disabled, which is why Custom Setting type List is greyed out. To allow the creation of custom settings when using application-level data definitions you'll need to enable Manage List Custom Settings Type.
1. Go to Setup.
2. Click Develop | Custom Settings.
3. Click NEW.
4. Under "Setting Type" click List.By enabling this option, users will have the ability to create List Custom Setting type.
Hope this helps.
