Registers are the basic objects in DM and are used to store data about devices, such as their type, location, and status. Register categories are used to group registers together based on their characteristics, such as type, location, or status. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Register categories can be created in the SAP IS-U DM system by navigating to the “Register Categories” tab in the “Device Management” menu. From there, users can create new register categories and assign them to registers. Once a register category has been created, it can be used to filter and sort registers in the system.
