JMeter - How do you group all requests related to a page to provide cleaner results?

Question

Im new to JMeter and have just created a test plan using the proxy server.

The test plan covers a fairly long user journey on a web app with a lot of pages, images, scripts and css being requested, because of this when I run the test plan and view the results in a listener such as the 'View Results Tree' the sampler list is very long and if I try and use a graph there are so many results its hard to make out individual values.

Is there a way in JMeter where I could group all the requests related to a page under that page and only have to page name display in the listener but still have the ability to drill into an individual page and see the details for each sample?

Thanks.

For this you can use Transaction Controller:

Keep Include duration of timer and pre-post processors in generated sample unchecked.
