I've modified this suggestion in order to split it into two separate requests. This way we can focus on them separately.

I've gone ahead and added the IMPORTANT function to the Red Book module of HOTELbeat. You will find a new "! checkbox" above the "Add" button. If this is clicked you will be making that specific entry Important! and the entry will be highlighted in red text.
The nightly report needs to be modified to reflect this new priority for Red Book.
