It's a little bit more complicated (and also a little bit more flexible.)

To use multiple different build configurations, I would strongly recommend a 
different build directory per build configuration.

By default no parameters are passed to cmake, thus the default is (IIRC) 
RelWithDebInfo (which is Release with Debug Information).

To create additional buildconfigurations switch to the projects pane and choose 
"Add" next to the "Edit BuildConfiguration" label, choose create, choose a 
different build directory and on the second wizard page enter, one of:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel
into the arguments line edit. 

That should work.
