As it currently stands, you
find the mib from somewhere
put it in the mib folder
compile the mib
go into snmp trap configuration
find the trap based on the OID or trawl through the list, going own the tree which starts at the top
configure the trap
configure the paramters
configure event configuration
configure event processing policy
configure alarm.

What about:
Select MIB to load - selects from one of the 8600 publicly available that could be included in a mib library
It copies the mib to the mibs folder (this being the active mibs) and compiles it.
After ticking box for Open SNMP Trap Processor after loading" - opens trap processor.
List of traps from the MIB are in list view - multiple traps can be selected.
Tick box at top - create alarm from trap based on mib details - including severity.
Automatically loads the trap, its parameters, and severity, all the way through - for each of the multiple traps selected.

Drops the 20 minute process down to 20 seconds.
