Pausing sequence in OpenLab ChemStation Software

Hi, I'm using OpenLab CDS Chemstation for GC software and Agilent Headspace Sampler. We recently upgraded to the latest version of this software and HSS.
The older version allowed me to run a few samples, and when they were run I could remove the vials, and add a few more and press start to analyse these in the same sequence.

With the new software and HSS, it will test the few samples, but where the next vial isn't present it fails to "move vial to shutter" and then you have to stop the run, set up a new sequence. I'd rather run them all in the same sequence.

In the pic below, is there any way to pause the instrument before looking for a vial at position 7 until I've added the vial and then resuming?

Is this 111 vials 767A sampler. In menu in sequence action you can define what to do if vial is missing, one of option is also pause if this is what you meant?
