Any way to identify rebuild errors for all configurations at one time?

I'm currently working on a model with a fairly large number of configurations. Is there any way to see, at a glance, which configurations have errors? It can be pretty time-consuming to go through all of these different configurations and chase down any problems.

@tim_hess427 - No! Because that would mean rebuilding ALL configurations (potentially tens of thousands or more) and neither you nor we want that!!

Infinite if you have a numerical configuration variable

@tim_hess427 - Actually YES, there is an easy way
Create a dummy assembly and insert an instance of each 'interesting' configuration that you would like to monitor - that way a single window on a (second) monitor is all you need.

@philip_thomas and @Jake_Rosenfeld -  Good point! I did not think about that. 

What about some sort of "debug" function where you could select a limited number of configurations to check on-demand as opposed to checking every time a change to the model is made?

As a work-around, I did notice that I can open multiple browser tabs and keep a different configuration open in each one. I don't keep every configuration open, but did open up a few "test" cases to catch big things early. At some point, I'll still need to manually cycle through each configuration, though.
