This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a page on my site that displays information about a User using Types and Views shortcodes. This works fine when I want to show information about the current User, but I cannot figure out how to show information about a different User.
Solution: Use a URL parameter to define the variable User ID used in the Driver Contract page. Build the markup for the administrator's link to the Driver Contract page with the proper URL parameter, based on the User in the list loop, something like this:
<wpv-loop> ... <a href="http://yoursite.com/contract/?user_id=[wpv-user field='ID']">view</a> ... </wpv-loop>
In the content of the contract page, you can access that user ID using the shortcode wpv-search-term:
[wpv-search-term param='user_id']
You can pass that value into your template's User shortcodes:
[types usermeta="contract-number" user_id="[wpv-search-term param='user_id']"][/types]

Some explanation where i'm stopping.
The Contract right now is just a Page with some user meta shortcodes, where user id is defined and this page is linked from the list of users as regular page link.
To get valid links to dynamic contract in list of users for logged-in adminstrator, user id in shortcode have to be variable i guess. Just don't have a clue how to do it.
For logged in custom user just using user meta shortcodes with user_current='true' and all works fine.
The problem is for adminstrator to display any user contract with corresponding user data.
