That does give me a workaround of sorts....<br>
<br>
Is there any way to pull from a table and place the information in
composer - a table that isn't being used by Atlas? <br>
<br>
.....But Alexandre's idea might give me a work around in the
meantime. <br>

<div>You are looking for the atlas generation feature. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the map composer go to the atlas tab and set your layer
as atlas coverage layer. (Don't forget to turn atlas control
on your map item properties). From that point on, you can use
the coverage layer's attributes in labels usig the expression
builder, or simply set the label as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[%my_column%]</div>

<div>Hope I helped.</div>

<br>
I have a layer that will change through time. I want to
insert the name of the polygon into map composer with the
area as part of some text at the bottom of the map. I am
thinking I use the getFeature and/or the attribute function
to insert an expression - but I'm not entirely sure.<br>
<br>
I'm pulling the data from postgis so I can create a view
with just that one polygon if that helps.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much - not that it probably matters but Ubuntu
14.04 QGIS 2.6.1<br>
