Late policy that is not dependent on how late the assignment is

My late policy is that any assignment that is late takes a 10% penalty. It does not matter if it's 1 minute late or 2 weeks late, the penalty is always 10%. If a student submits an assignment graded as a 100%, but it's late, it's given a 90% final score. If a student submits an assignment graded as a 20%, but it's late, it's given a 10% final score. 

How can I set this up in canvas to automatically take 10% off if an assignment is late. I don't want to use the "per hour" or "per day" feature. It doesn't matter how late it is, just if it's late at all.

Thanks!

Hi,

There is currently no option to automatically apply the kind of late policy you are describing, as far as I can see.  The 10% late deduction will need to be applied manually.
