Not sure if my job search activity counts

I have been applying to about 8 jobs a week as a production planner, but I am unsure what my state wants in the log. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. My state says to keep records for a year. Do interviews and workshops count?

I was asked for my log once, after six months. Having it in a spreadsheet made it painless.

I record the date, the company, the job title, how I applied and any contact name. It takes a minute each and it covered me when I was asked for proof.
