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

Hello Randal,
You are looking for the atlas generation feature.
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:
[%my_column%]
Hope I helped.

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.
I'm pulling the data from postgis so I can create a view with just
that one polygon if that helps.
Thanks so much - not that it probably matters but Ubuntu 14.04
