# /members/\{member\}/groups/\{group\}/uris/\{uri\}/resolverefs \[POST\]

## Description

Resolve [xrefs](../../reference/glossary/xref.md) for a folder.

Invoking this service starts an [Asynchronous process](../usage/asynchronous_process.md).

## Parameters

| Name | Description | Required | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| start-thread | Whether the resolve xrefs thread should be started | no | boolean | `true` |

## Permission

## Response

This service returns the following XML:

```xml

<xref-resolution>
  <thread ...> ... </thread>
</xref-resolution>
```

If the thread is not started (if parameter `start-thread` is set to `false` ), then only the number of URIs to parse is returned like so:

```xml

<total-uris>125</total-uris>
 
```
