Why can't I use hourly, daily or weekly on this automation?
I'm trying to make a daily notification for the automation below. But it won't allow me. Can someone provide ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
Locking My Sheet
I want to be able to lock a column in my sheet so that everyone can access the sheet without being able to edit it at all. I chose "lock column" because I though that's what it would do, but everyone with access to the sheet is still able to edit the cells. How can I make it so that no one can have access to edit the cells?

Automated Reminder Status Linking
I am wondering if it is possible to link automated reminders to my status colors on my Gantt chart. For example, if an item is completed, it turns green; if it is due in 7 days, it turns yellow; and if it is due on the day or is overdue, it turns red. And if it is overdue, then it wont sent out the reminder.
