Indent and Outdent of a task are used to update the level of the task in hierarchical order of the task. It can be performed bu enabling the ‘editSettings.allowEditing’ property.

Indent - Selected task can be indented to the level of task to the hierarchical order. It can be performed by using in-built context menu or toolbar items. It can also be invoked by using the indent method dynamically on any action like external button click. The following code example shows how to enable indent option in the Gantt chart.

Outdent - Selected task can be outdented to the level of task from the hierarchical order. It can be performed by using in-built context menu or toolbar items. It can also be invoked by using the outdent method dynamically on any action like external button click. The following code example shows how to enable outdent option in the Gantt chart.
