How to set regions as a parameter in an agent in anylogic

I have placed agents of a population (from a database) on a point on the GIS map (following this tutorial: https://www.anylogic.com/resources/educational-videos/how-to-video-placing-agents-on-the-gis-map/). After that, I converted different regions from the GIS map. Now I want that every agent contains a parameter "region" corresponding to the region that it is located in. Does anyone know how to do this?

Edit: The Region is only needed to identify which GIS points are in the same region. So the parameter "region" can be an integer.

What do you refer with "region"? Is it the GISRegion? Else the easiest option is to add a parameter, or variable and just set it when the agent gets created. – Jaco-Ben Vosloo
Yes, I mean a GISRegion. I set the order location on a GIS point using the "this" function. But what is the function to select its corresponding region? – Bart wolker
I have edited the question. I hope it is more clear now. – Bart wolker

Simplest option is to have a variable of type GISRegion in your agent and then on the on startup code of the agent you simply access the map and do a region search on the map saving the value to the variable

gisRegion = main.map.searchFirstRegion(address);
