What counts as a work search for weekly certification? - 3 months and counting

I am keeping a spreadsheet of applications, but I worry it is not what the agency expects. There are 4 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 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.
