Actually, overdue plus due plus due in the next three days are all specified by 
the fairly simple rule
 
(dueDateTime onOrBefore Today+3)

Question: if a task was completed yesterday but isn't due till tomorrow, do you 
want it included? If not, then you want

((dueDateTime onOrBefore Today+3) And (Complete Is False))

So you really want (ACTIVE OR due soon) right? That means we need to talk about 
ACTIVE, one of the trickiest things in MLO rules language. The issue is that 
advanced rule (Active is true) will show  more tasks that what you see in the 
Active Tasks view. The reason is that the advanced rule wotExiarill include 
tasks that start in the future. This is needed to allow you to specify "tasks 
starting in the next n days) - so for a view that matches Active Tasks you need 
to specify

((Active is True) AND ((StartDateTime DoesNotExist) OR (StartDateTime OnOrAfter 
Now)))

So the entire rule would be

((dueDateTime onOrBefore Today+3) And (Complete Is False)) OR ((Active is True) 
AND ((StartDateTime DoesNotExist) OR (StartDateTime OnOrAfter Now)))
