I remember there is an option in MS Project Pro to change the tracking
method such that when the project is published to Project Server, the
resource will report the updates by hours spend per day rather than the
default percentage of completed.

Anybody know how to do this ?

To change the method of tracking progress in a single project, do the
following:

1. Open the project in question
2. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields...
3. In the top of the dialog, select the method for tracking progress and
then click OK
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Click OK

You must do steps 4 and 5 if the project has already been published prior to
changing the method of tracking progress. Otherwise, you can simply publish
the project as normal with Collaborate - Publish - New and Changed
Assignments, or Collaborate - Publish - All Information.

If you wish to change the default method of tracking for every project in
your system, your Project Server administrator will need to do the
following:

1. Log into Project Web Access with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Customize Microsoft Project Web Access link
4. Click the Tracking Settings link if necessary
5. Select the new method of tracking progress
6. Save the settings

After the Project Server administrator has done this, each project manager
will need to open every project and complete steps #1-5 in the previous
section to "push" the new method of tracking to each user's timesheet. Hope
this helps.
