Starting running all build configuration in TeamCity

Question

In TC there is a project with a couple build configurations. Build configs targets projects that not interfere with each other - so I can start the build process simultaneously. On each build configuration home page there is Run button that starts the build.

My question - there is possible to create a such button that triggers the build of all configs?

I know that there is Build triggers and so on - but sometime there is need to start all build configuration - "on demand" build run - and it is a little inconvenient to go to each home page and press Run button.

You can accomplish this by creating a 'kick-off' build configuration -- it doesn't need to do anything -- and linking each of your parallel configurations to it by a Finish Build trigger. When you Run... the 'kick-off' configuration, it'll finish quickly and all of the parallel configurations should then get triggered.
