Create a rule-based Travelling information form

The following tutorial guide you through creating a rule-based form with several conditions. 

Case description

You have a travel agency and you have a multi-page form that is collecting the data of the passengers.

If the user answers Yes, on the second step, you want to display fields where the user can enter the names and the passport numbers of the children - Child full name and Child passport number. If the passenger fills out the passport number, you want to display another set of these fields, in case the passenger is travelling with more than one child.  
If the passenger is travelling alone, you want to skip this step and go to the third step where there is a Submit button. After the users complete the form, you want to take them to one of the following pages:
