Plans with multiple releases

 Hello,
I'd like to know if I could make multiple releases show up in plans. This is what I'm trying to do; for instance I have 4 Tasks that have different releases. The team is working on all 4 of those releases at the same time. So there would be Sprint A Rel 1, Sprint A Rel 2, Sprint A Rel 3, and Sprint A Rel 4. But they all represent Sprint A. 

Now if I wanted to track all my tasks for Rel 1, I would need to go to make Sprint A Rel 1 as current sprint. Then the dashboard/reports would popluate for Rel 1. 
However the team is working on Rel 2, 3, and 4 all at the same time as well.
So I am curious if there is a way to show all

Let me know if it is not clear. Thanks for any pointers you can provide.

If you set up your timeline like this

timeline
   Project
        Release1
             Iteration1
               ......
        Release2
             Iteration1
               ......

With Project being an iteration (pick a better name), this would allow you to choose Project as the base iteration of the plan and to group per iteration, which would include the releases. There are different plan types and you should look at them.

For instance, look into the Release Backlog plan type with the project iteration picked by iteration

 Perfect that works fine. Thanks for your help

 Hi,
One more question; is there any way for iteration 1 to be the same for multiple releases? Or will I be having: Sprint 1 for Rel1 , Sprint 1 for Rel2, and Sprint 1 for Rel3?
Thanks for your help

No, you cannot have the same iteration under multiple releases. They are separate iterations, even if they happen to have the same name.

There are work items that request this to be easier.

I see that I have set up our project similar to Ralph's suggestion, for the same reason ... I can use the Project Backlog Plan to get an overview all items over all releases.

Main project timeline
   Project Backlog
        Release1
             R1I1
             R1I2
             R1I3
               ......
        Release2
             R2I1
               ......

However, in this set up only a single Release and Iteration can be marked as active.

==> Is there any way to have e.g. R1I3 and R2I1 active at the same time? <==

(These represent the same calendar time but for different releases.)
Thank you
