  <Step>
    In the new window that appears, provide the following details:

    a. Enter a short and descriptive name for the source.

    b. Choose the file format for sending data to Zeotap CDP using the drop-down menu.

    c. Choose the **delimiter** and **region** of upload.

    d. Under **Data Entity**, depending on the type of data that you want to ingest, choose either **Customer Data** or **Non Customer Data** and proceed with the source creation. To know more about Customer Data and Non Customer Data, refer [here](https://docs.zeotap.com/smart/project-unify/supported-data-entities).

    e. Under **PGP Encrypted**, select **True** or **False**, depending on whether you want to encrypt your data before sending it to Zeotap CDP. If you select **True**, then you can download the PGP Public key from the **Implementation Details** tab after source creation. To learn more about PGP encryption, refer [here](/articles/integrate-customer/pgp-encryption-in-sources).

<Note>
  **Note:**

  Follow these guidelines for successful source implementation:

  * After you have created an SFTP source, ensure to raise a ticket with Zeotap’s Support Team to complete the  source creation process. To know more about how to implement an SFTP Source, refer to [Implementing SFTP Source](/articles/integrate-customer/implementing-sftp-push-source).
  * Note that you can create a maximum of five NCE sources in an account. This default limit applies to both archived and active NCE sources within an organisation.
