Use the Tracking table for easy access and add other fields as needed. I never use % complete as I find that is one of the most inaccurate methods of getting status from resources.

1-but if you used %work complete it would mean the same thing correct?
2-also per your answer i inserted actual work and remaining work columns into my gantt chart. but they both showed 0 for everything. and then strangely, when i updated just one of the tasks actual work, then the actual remaining updated only for that one, and even if i brought that tasks actual work to 0 again, this time only for that activity the remaining work showed the actual remaining hours, not 0 like for everything else. why did this happen? note: all these activities are in the future.
3-assume that later during the job, as the days progress and say for one activity there is little progress than planned. right now if you update the actual work and remaining work, % work and % complete columns calculate update the same. but if there was a delay they would not calculate the same correct?
